-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.
