DCTCP (DataCenter TCP) |
|
====================== |
|
|
|
DCTCP is an enhancement to the TCP congestion control algorithm for data |
|
center networks and leverages Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) in |
|
the data center network to provide multi-bit feedback to the end hosts. |
|
|
|
To enable it on end hosts:: |
|
|
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=dctcp |
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_ecn_fallback=0 (optional) |
|
|
|
All switches in the data center network running DCTCP must support ECN |
|
marking and be configured for marking when reaching defined switch buffer |
|
thresholds. The default ECN marking threshold heuristic for DCTCP on |
|
switches is 20 packets (30KB) at 1Gbps, and 65 packets (~100KB) at 10Gbps, |
|
but might need further careful tweaking. |
