/* DataCenter TCP (DCTCP) congestion control.
*
* http : //simula.stanford.edu/~alizade/Site/DCTCP.html
*
* This is an implementation of DCTCP over Reno , an enhancement to the
* TCP congestion control algorithm designed for data centers . DCTCP
* leverages Explicit Congestion Notification ( ECN ) in the network to
* provide multi - bit feedback to the end hosts . DCTCP ' s goal is to meet
* the following three data center transport requirements :
*
* - High burst tolerance ( incast due to partition / aggregate )
* - Low latency ( short flows , queries )
* - High throughput ( continuous data updates , large file transfers )
* with commodity shallow buffered switches
*
* The algorithm is described in detail in the following two papers :
*
* 1 ) Mohammad Alizadeh , Albert Greenberg , David A . Maltz , Jitendra Padhye ,
* Parveen Patel , Balaji Prabhakar , Sudipta Sengupta , and Murari Sridharan :
* " Data Center TCP ( DCTCP ) " , Data Center Networks session
* Proc . ACM SIGCOMM , New Delhi , 2010 .
* http : //simula.stanford.edu/~alizade/Site/DCTCP_files/dctcp-final.pdf
*
* 2 ) Mohammad Alizadeh , Adel Javanmard , and Balaji Prabhakar :
* " Analysis of DCTCP : Stability , Convergence , and Fairness "
* Proc . ACM SIGMETRICS , San Jose , 2011 .
* http : //simula.stanford.edu/~alizade/Site/DCTCP_files/dctcp_analysis-full.pdf
*
* Initial prototype from Abdul Kabbani , Masato Yasuda and Mohammad Alizadeh .
