Detailed Description

Interface for all operations that involve a Rate monitoring for TCP.

Introspection did not find any typical Config paths.

The interface is meant to take information to generate rate information valid for congestion avoidance algorithm such as BBR.

Please take a look to the TcpRateLinux class for an example.


No Attributes are defined for this type.
No TraceSources are defined for this type.
Size of this type is 32 bytes (on a 64-bit architecture).

Member Function Documentation

◆ CalculateAppLimited()

virtual void ns3::TcpRateOps::CalculateAppLimited ( uint32_t  cWnd,
uint32_t  in_flight,
uint32_t  segmentSize,
const SequenceNumber32 tailSeq,
const SequenceNumber32 nextTx,
const uint32_t  lostOut,
const uint32_t  retransOut 
)
pure virtual

If a gap is detected between sends, it means we are app-limited.

TODO What the Linux kernel is setting in tp->app_limited? https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/net/ipv4/tcp_rate.c#L177

Parameters
cWndCongestion Window
in_flightIn Flight size (in bytes)
segmentSizeSegment size
tailSeqTail Sequence
nextTxNextTx
lostOutNumber of lost bytes
retransOutNumber of retransmitted bytes

Implemented in ns3::TcpRateLinux.

Referenced by ns3::TcpSocketBase::Send().

◆ GenerateSample()

virtual const TcpRateSample& ns3::TcpRateOps::GenerateSample ( uint32_t  delivered,
uint32_t  lost,
bool  is_sack_reneg,
uint32_t  priorInFlight,
const Time minRtt 
)
pure virtual

Generate a TcpRateSample to feed a congestion avoidance algorithm.

This function will be called after an ACK (or a SACK) is received. The (S)ACK carries some implicit information, such as how many segments have been lost or delivered. These values will be this function input.

Parameters
deliverednumber of delivered segments (e.g., receiving a cumulative ACK means having more than 1 segment delivered) relative to the most recent (S)ACK received
lostnumber of segments that we detected as lost after the reception of the most recent (S)ACK
priorInFlightnumber of segments previously considered in flight
is_sack_renegIs SACK reneged?
minRttMinimum RTT so far
Returns
The TcpRateSample that will be used for CA

◆ GetConnectionRate()

virtual const TcpRateConnection& ns3::TcpRateOps::GetConnectionRate ( )
pure virtual
Returns

◆ GetTypeId()

TypeId ns3::TcpRateOps::GetTypeId ( void  )
static

Get the type ID.

Get the type ID.

Returns

+ Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ SkbDelivered()

virtual void ns3::TcpRateOps::SkbDelivered ( TcpTxItem skb)
pure virtual

Update the Rate information after an item is received.

When an skb is sacked or acked, we fill in the rate sample with the (prior) delivery information when the skb was last transmitted.

If an ACK (s)acks multiple skbs (e.g., stretched-acks), this function is called multiple times. We favor the information from the most recently sent skb, i.e., the skb with the highest prior_delivered count.

Parameters
skbThe SKB delivered ((s)ACKed)

Implemented in ns3::TcpRateLinux.

Referenced by ns3::TcpSocketBase::ProcessOptionSack(), and ns3::TcpSocketBase::ReceivedAck().

+ Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ SkbSent()

virtual void ns3::TcpRateOps::SkbSent ( TcpTxItem skb,
bool  isStartOfTransmission 
)
pure virtual

Put the rate information inside the sent skb.

Snapshot the current delivery information in the skb, to generate a rate sample later when the skb is (s)acked in SkbDelivered ().

Parameters
skbThe SKB sent
isStartOfTransmissiontrue if this is a start of transmission (i.e., in_flight == 0)

Implemented in ns3::TcpRateLinux.
