This class implements hybrid slow start of the TCP cubic send side // congestion algorithm. The key feaure of hybrid slow start is that it tries to // avoid running into the wall too hard during the slow start phase, which // the traditional TCP implementation does. // http://netsrv.csc.ncsu.edu/export/hybridstart_pfldnet08.pdf // http://research.csc.ncsu.edu/netsrv/sites/default/files/hystart_techreport_2008.pdf #ifndef NET_QUIC_CONGESTION_CONTROL_HYBRID_SLOW_START_H_ #define NET_QUIC_CONGESTION_CONTROL_HYBRID_SLOW_START_H_ #include "base/basictypes.h" #include "net/base/net_export.h" #include "net/quic/quic_clock.h" #include "net/quic/quic_protocol.h" #include "net/quic/quic_time.h" namespace net { class NET_EXPORT_PRIVATE HybridSlowStart { public: explicit HybridSlowStart(const QuicClock* clock); void OnPacketAcked(QuicPacketSequenceNumber acked_sequence_number, bool in_slow_start); void OnPacketSent(QuicPacketSequenceNumber sequence_number); // ShouldExitSlowStart should be called on every new ack frame, since a new // RTT measurement can be made then. // rtt: the RTT for this ack packet. // min_rtt: is the lowest delay (RTT) we have seen during the session. // congestion_window: the congestion window in packets. bool ShouldExitSlowStart(QuicTime::Delta rtt, QuicTime::Delta min_rtt, int64 congestion_window); // Start a new slow start phase. void Restart(); // TODO(ianswett): The following methods should be private, but that requires // a follow up CL to update the unit test. // Returns true if this ack the last sequence number of our current slow start // round. // Call Reset if this returns true. bool IsEndOfRound(QuicPacketSequenceNumber ack) const; // Call for the start of each receive round (burst) in the slow start phase. void StartReceiveRound(QuicPacketSequenceNumber last_sent); void set_ack_train_detection(bool ack_train_detection) { ack_train_detection_ = ack_train_detection; } bool ack_train_detection() const { return ack_train_detection_; } // Whether slow start has started. bool started() const { return started_; } private: // Whether a condition for exiting slow start has been found. enum HystartState { NOT_FOUND, ACK_TRAIN, // A closely spaced ack train is too long.
