Extensions to FreeBSD Datacenter TCP for Incremental Deployment Support
Datacenter TCP (DCTCP) achieves low latencies for short flows while maintaining high throughputs for concurrent bulk transfers, but requires changes to both endpoints, which presents a deployment challenge. This presentation introduces extensions to DCTCP that enables one-sided deployment when peers implement standard TCP/ECN functionality.
This makes DCTCP significantly easier to deploy incrementally. We also improve DCTCP in two-sided deployments by refining ECN processing and the calculation of the congestion estimate.
A FreeBSD kernel implementation of these DCTCP improvements demonstrates better performance than the original DCTCP variant, and validates that incremental one-sided deployments see benefits similar to those previously only achievable in two-sided deployments.
