3 * TCP NV: TCP with Congestion Avoidance
4 *
5 * TCP-NV is a successor of TCP-Vegas that has been developed to
6 * deal with the issues that occur in modern networks.
7 * Like TCP-Vegas, TCP-NV supports true congestion avoidance,
8 * the ability to detect congestion before packet losses occur.
9 * When congestion (queue buildup) starts to occur, TCP-NV
10 * predicts what the cwnd size should be for the current
11 * throughput and it reduces the cwnd proportionally to
12 * the difference between the current cwnd and the predicted cwnd.
13 *
14 * NV is only recommeneded for traffic within a data center, and when
15 * all the flows are NV (at least those within the data center). This
16 * is due to the inherent unfairness between flows using losses to
17 * detect congestion (congestion control) and those that use queue
18 * buildup to detect congestion (congestion avoidance).
19 *
20 * Note: High NIC coalescence values may lower the performance of NV
21 * due to the increased noise in RTT values. In particular, we have
22 * seen issues with rx-frames values greater than 8.
23 *
24 * TODO:
25 * 1) Add mechanism to deal with reverse congestion.
