Detailed Description

An implementation of TCP Veno.

TCP Veno enhances Reno algorithm for more effectively dealing with random packet loss in wireless access networks by employing Vegas's method in estimating the backlog at the bottleneck queue to distinguish between congestive and non-congestive states.

The backlog (the number of packets accumulated at the bottleneck queue) is calculated using Equation (1):

    N = Actual * (RTT - BaseRTT) = Diff * BaseRTT        (1)

where Diff = Expected - Actual = cwnd/BaseRTT - cwnd/RTT

Veno makes decision on cwnd modification based on the calculated N and its predefined threshold beta.

Specifically, it refines the additive increase algorithm of Reno so that the connection can stay longer in the stable state by incrementing cwnd by 1/cwnd for every other new ACK received after the available bandwidth has been fully utilized, i.e. when N exceeds beta. Otherwise, Veno increases its cwnd by 1/cwnd upon every new ACK receipt as in Reno.

In the multiplicative decrease algorithm, when Veno is in the non-congestive state, i.e. when N is less than beta, Veno decrements its cwnd by only 1/5 because the loss encountered is more likely a corruption-based loss than a congestion-based. Only when N is greater than beta, Veno halves its sending rate as in Reno.

Perform RTT sampling needed to execute Veno algorithm.

The function filters RTT samples from the last RTT to find the current smallest propagation delay + queueing delay (m_minRtt). We take the minimum to avoid the effects of delayed ACKs.

The function also min-filters all RTT measurements seen to find the propagation delay (m_baseRtt).

rtt	last RTT
