While playing with CoDel and ECN marking, I discovered a
|
|
|
|
|
non optimal behavior of receiver of CE (Congestion Encountered)
|
|
|
|
|
segments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In pathological cases, sender has reduced its cwnd to low values,
|
|
|
|
|
and receiver delays its ACK (by 40 ms).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While RFC 3168 6.1.3 (The TCP Receiver) doesn't explicitly recommend
|
|
|
|
|
to send immediate ACKS, we believe its better to not delay ACKS, because
|
|
|
|
|
a CE segment should give same signal than a dropped segment, and its
|
|
|
|
|
quite important to reduce RTT to give ECE/CWR signals as fast as
|
|
|
|
|
possible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note we already call tcp_enter_quickack_mode() from TCP_ECN_check_ce()
|
|
|
|
|
if we receive a retransmit, for the same reason.
