====================
RACK loss detection

RACK (Recent ACK) loss recovery uses the notion of time instead of
packet sequence (FACK) or counts (dupthresh).

It's inspired by the FACK heuristic in tcp_mark_lost_retrans(): when a
limited transmit (new data packet) is sacked in recovery, then any
retransmission sent before that newly sacked packet was sent must have
been lost, since at least one round trip time has elapsed.

But that existing heuristic from tcp_mark_lost_retrans()
has several limitations:
  1) it can't detect tail drops since it depends on limited transmit
  2) it's disabled upon reordering (assumes no reordering)
  3) it's only enabled in fast recovery but not timeout recovery

RACK addresses these limitations with a core idea: an unacknowledged
packet P1 is deemed lost if a packet P2 that was sent later is is
s/acked, since at least one round trip has passed.

Since RACK cares about the time sequence instead of the data sequence
of packets, it can detect tail drops when a later retransmission is
s/acked, while FACK or dupthresh can't. For reordering RACK uses a
dynamically adjusted reordering window ("reo_wnd") to reduce false
positives on ever (small) degree of reordering, similar to the delayed
Early Retransmit.

In the current patch set RACK is only a supplemental loss detection
and does not trigger fast recovery. However we are developing RACK
to replace or consolidate FACK/dupthresh, early retransmit, and
thin-dupack. These heuristics all implicitly bear the time notion.
For example, the delayed Early Retransmit is simply applying RACK
to trigger the fast recovery with small inflight.

RACK requires measuring the minimum RTT. Tracking a global min is less
robust due to traffic engineering pathing changes. Therefore it uses a
windowed filter by Kathleen Nichols. The min RTT can also be useful
for various other purposes like congestion control or stat monitoring.

This patch has been used on Google servers for well over 1 year. RACK
has also been implemented in the QUIC protocol. We are submitting an
IETF draft as well.

      tcp: use RACK to detect losses · 4f41b1c5
      由 Yuchung Cheng 提交于 
      This patch implements the second half of RACK that uses the the most
recent transmit time among all delivered packets to detect losses.

tcp_rack_mark_lost() is called upon receiving a dubious ACK.
It then checks if an not-yet-sacked packet was sent at least
"reo_wnd" prior to the sent time of the most recently delivered.
If so the packet is deemed lost.

The "reo_wnd" reordering window starts with 1msec for fast loss
detection and changes to min-RTT/4 when reordering is observed.
We found 1msec accommodates well on tiny degree of reordering
(<3 pkts) on faster links. We use min-RTT instead of SRTT because
reordering is more of a path property but SRTT can be inflated by
self-inflicated congestion. The factor of 4 is borrowed from the
delayed early retransmit and seems to work reasonably well.

Since RACK is still experimental, it is now used as a supplemental
loss detection on top of existing algorithms. It is only effective
after the fast recovery starts or after the timeout occurs. The
fast recovery is still triggered by FACK and/or dupack threshold
instead of RACK.

We introduce a new sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_recovery for future
experiments of loss recoveries. For now RACK can be disabled by
setting it to 0.

      tcp: track the packet timings in RACK · 659a8ad5
      由 Yuchung Cheng 提交于 
      This patch is the first half of the RACK loss recovery.

RACK loss recovery uses the notion of time instead
of packet sequence (FACK) or counts (dupthresh). It's inspired by the
previous FACK heuristic in tcp_mark_lost_retrans(): when a limited
transmit (new data packet) is sacked, then current retransmitted
sequence below the newly sacked sequence must been lost,
since at least one round trip time has elapsed.

But it has several limitations:
1) can't detect tail drops since it depends on limited transmit
2) is disabled upon reordering (assumes no reordering)
3) only enabled in fast recovery ut not timeout recovery

RACK (Recently ACK) addresses these limitations with the notion
of time instead: a packet P1 is lost if a later packet P2 is s/acked,
as at least one round trip has passed.

Since RACK cares about the time sequence instead of the data sequence
of packets, it can detect tail drops when later retransmission is
s/acked while FACK or dupthresh can't. For reordering RACK uses a
dynamically adjusted reordering window ("reo_wnd") to reduce false
positives on ever (small) degree of reordering.

This patch implements tcp_advanced_rack() which tracks the
most recent transmission time among the packets that have been
delivered (ACKed or SACKed) in tp->rack.mstamp. This timestamp
is the key to determine which packet has been lost.

Consider an example that the sender sends six packets:
T1: P1 (lost)
T2: P2
T3: P3
T4: P4
T100: sack of P2. rack.mstamp = T2
T101: retransmit P1
T102: sack of P2,P3,P4. rack.mstamp = T4
T205: ACK of P4 since the hole is repaired. rack.mstamp = T101

We need to be careful about spurious retransmission because it may
falsely advance tp->rack.mstamp by an RTT or an RTO, causing RACK
to falsely mark all packets lost, just like a spurious timeout.

We identify spurious retransmission by the ACK's TS echo value.
If TS option is not applicable but the retransmission is acknowledged
less than min-RTT ago, it is likely to be spurious. We refrain from
using the transmission time of these spurious retransmissions.

The second half is implemented in the next patch that marks packet
lost using RACK timestamp.

      tcp: track min RTT using windowed min-filter · f6722583
      由 Yuchung Cheng 提交于 
      Kathleen Nichols' algorithm for tracking the minimum RTT of a
data stream over some measurement window. It uses constant space
and constant time per update. Yet it almost always delivers
the same minimum as an implementation that has to keep all
the data in the window. The measurement window is tunable via
sysctl.net.ipv4.tcp_min_rtt_wlen with a default value of 5 minutes.

The algorithm keeps track of the best, 2nd best & 3rd best min
values, maintaining an invariant that the measurement time of
the n'th best >= n-1'th best. It also makes sure that the three
values are widely separated in the time window since that bounds
the worse case error when that data is monotonically increasing
over the window.

Upon getting a new min, we can forget everything earlier because
it has no value - the new min is less than everything else in the
window by definition and it's the most recent. So we restart fresh
on every new min and overwrites the 2nd & 3rd choices. The same
property holds for the 2nd & 3rd best.

Therefore we have to maintain two invariants to maximize the
information in the samples, one on values (1st.v <= 2nd.v <=
3rd.v) and the other on times (now-win <=1st.t <= 2nd.t <= 3rd.t <=
now). These invariants determine the structure of the code

The RTT input to the windowed filter is the minimum RTT measured
from ACK or SACK, or as the last resort from TCP timestamps.

The accessor tcp_min_rtt() returns the minimum RTT seen in the
window. ~0U indicates it is not available. The minimum is 1usec
even if the true RTT is below that.
