tcp: track data delivery rate for a TCP connection
This patch generates data delivery rate (throughput) samples on a
per-ACK basis. These rate samples can be used by congestion control
modules, and specifically will be used by TCP BBR in later patches in
this series.
Key state:
tp->delivered: Tracks the total number of data packets (original or not)
delivered so far. This is an already-existing field.
tp->delivered_mstamp: the last time tp->delivered was updated.
Algorithm:
A rate sample is calculated as (d1 - d0)/(t1 - t0) on a per-ACK basis:
d1: the current tp->delivered after processing the ACK
t1: the current time after processing the ACK
d0: the prior tp->delivered when the acked skb was transmitted
t0: the prior tp->delivered_mstamp when the acked skb was transmitted
When an skb is transmitted, we snapshot d0 and t0 in its control
block in tcp_rate_skb_sent().
When an ACK arrives, it may SACK and ACK some skbs. For each SACKed
or ACKed skb, tcp_rate_skb_delivered() updates the rate_sample struct
to reflect the latest (d0, t0).
Finally, tcp_rate_gen() generates a rate sample by storing
(d1 - d0) in rs->delivered and (t1 - t0) in rs->interval_us.
One caveat: if an skb was sent with no packets in flight, then
tp->delivered_mstamp may be either invalid (if the connection is
starting) or outdated (if the connection was idle). In that case,
we'll re-stamp tp->delivered_mstamp.
At first glance it seems t0 should always be the time when an skb was
transmitted, but actually this could over-estimate the rate due to
phase mismatch between transmit and ACK events. To track the delivery
rate, we ensure that if packets are in flight then t0 and and t1 are
times at which packets were marked delivered.
If the initial and final RTTs are different then one may be corrupted
by some sort of noise. The noise we see most often is sending gaps
caused by delayed, compressed, or stretched acks. This either affects
both RTTs equally or artificially reduces the final RTT. We approach
this by recording the info we need to compute the initial RTT
(duration of the "send phase" of the window) when we recorded the
associated inflight. Then, for a filter to avoid bandwidth
overestimates, we generalize the per-sample bandwidth computation
from:
bw = delivered / ack_phase_rtt
to the following:
bw = delivered / max(send_phase_rtt, ack_phase_rtt)
In large-scale experiments, this filtering approach incorporating
send_phase_rtt is effective at avoiding bandwidth overestimates due to
ACK compression or stretched ACKs.

/* The bandwidth estimator estimates the rate at which the network
|
|
|
|
* can currently deliver outbound data packets for this flow. At a high
|
|
|
|
* level, it operates by taking a delivery rate sample for each ACK.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* A rate sample records the rate at which the network delivered packets
|
|
|
|
* for this flow, calculated over the time interval between the transmission
|
|
|
|
* of a data packet and the acknowledgment of that packet.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Specifically, over the interval between each transmit and corresponding ACK,
|
|
|
|
* the estimator generates a delivery rate sample. Typically it uses the rate
|
|
|
|
* at which packets were acknowledged. However, the approach of using only the
|
|
|
|
* acknowledgment rate faces a challenge under the prevalent ACK decimation or
|
|
|
|
* compression: packets can temporarily appear to be delivered much quicker
|
|
|
|
* than the bottleneck rate. Since it is physically impossible to do that in a
|
|
|
|
* sustained fashion, when the estimator notices that the ACK rate is faster
|
|
|
|
* than the transmit rate, it uses the latter:
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* send_rate = #pkts_delivered/(last_snd_time - first_snd_time)
|
|
|
|
* ack_rate = #pkts_delivered/(last_ack_time - first_ack_time)
|
|
|
|
* bw = min(send_rate, ack_rate)
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Notice the estimator essentially estimates the goodput, not always the
|
|
|
|
* network bottleneck link rate when the sending or receiving is limited by
|
|
|
|
* other factors like applications or receiver window limits. The estimator
|
|
|
|
* deliberately avoids using the inter-packet spacing approach because that
|
|
|
|
* approach requires a large number of samples and sophisticated filtering.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* TCP flows can often be application-limited in request/response workloads.
|
|
|
|
* The estimator marks a bandwidth sample as application-limited if there
|
|
|
|
* was some moment during the sampled window of packets when there was no data
|
|
|
|
* ready to send in the write queue.

tcp: track data delivery rate for a TCP connection
This patch generates data delivery rate (throughput) samples on a
per-ACK basis. These rate samples can be used by congestion control
modules, and specifically will be used by TCP BBR in later patches in
this series.
Key state:
tp->delivered: Tracks the total number of data packets (original or not)
delivered so far. This is an already-existing field.
tp->delivered_mstamp: the last time tp->delivered was updated.
Algorithm:
A rate sample is calculated as (d1 - d0)/(t1 - t0) on a per-ACK basis:
d1: the current tp->delivered after processing the ACK
t1: the current time after processing the ACK
d0: the prior tp->delivered when the acked skb was transmitted
t0: the prior tp->delivered_mstamp when the acked skb was transmitted
When an skb is transmitted, we snapshot d0 and t0 in its control
block in tcp_rate_skb_sent().
When an ACK arrives, it may SACK and ACK some skbs. For each SACKed
or ACKed skb, tcp_rate_skb_delivered() updates the rate_sample struct
to reflect the latest (d0, t0).
Finally, tcp_rate_gen() generates a rate sample by storing
(d1 - d0) in rs->delivered and (t1 - t0) in rs->interval_us.
One caveat: if an skb was sent with no packets in flight, then
tp->delivered_mstamp may be either invalid (if the connection is
starting) or outdated (if the connection was idle). In that case,
we'll re-stamp tp->delivered_mstamp.
At first glance it seems t0 should always be the time when an skb was
transmitted, but actually this could over-estimate the rate due to
phase mismatch between transmit and ACK events. To track the delivery
rate, we ensure that if packets are in flight then t0 and and t1 are
times at which packets were marked delivered.
If the initial and final RTTs are different then one may be corrupted
by some sort of noise. The noise we see most often is sending gaps
caused by delayed, compressed, or stretched acks. This either affects
both RTTs equally or artificially reduces the final RTT. We approach
