.Sh NAME

|
.Nm cc_htcp
|
|
.Nd H-TCP Congestion Control Algorithm
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The H-TCP congestion control algorithm was designed to provide increased
|
|
throughput in fast and long-distance networks.
|
|
It attempts to maintain fairness when competing with legacy NewReno TCP in lower
|
|
speed scenarios where NewReno is able to operate adequately.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The congestion window is increased as a function of the time elapsed since the
|
|
last congestion event.
|
|
The window increase algorithm operates like NewReno for the first second after a
|
|
congestion event, and then switches to a high-speed mode based on a quadratic
|
|
increase function.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The implementation was done in a clean-room fashion, and is based on the
|
|
Internet Draft and other documents referenced in the
|
|
.Sx SEE ALSO
|
|
section below.
|
|
.Sh MIB Variables
|
|
The algorithm exposes the following tunable variables in the
|
|
.Va net.inet.tcp.cc.htcp
|
|
branch of the
|
|
.Xr sysctl 3
|
|
MIB:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Va adaptive_backoff"
|
|
.It Va adaptive_backoff
|
|
Controls use of the adaptive backoff algorithm, which is designed to keep
|
|
network queues non-empty during congestion recovery episodes.
|
|
Default is 0 (disabled).
|
|
.It Va rtt_scaling
|
|
Controls use of the RTT scaling algorithm, which is designed to make congestion
|
|
window increase during congestion avoidance mode invariant with respect to RTT.
|
|
Default is 0 (disabled).

.Sh ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
|
|
Development and testing of this software were made possible in part by grants
|
|
from the FreeBSD Foundation and Cisco University Research Program Fund at
|
|
Community Foundation Silicon Valley.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
congestion control module first appeared in
|
|
.Fx 9.0 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The module was first released in 2007 by James Healy and Lawrence Stewart whilst
|
|
working on the NewTCP research project at Swinburne University of Technology's
|
|
Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures, Melbourne, Australia, which was made
|
|
possible in part by a grant from the Cisco University Research Program Fund at
|
|
Community Foundation Silicon Valley.
