-<p class="Pp">The DCTCP (data center TCP) congestion control algorithm aims to
- maximise throughput and minimise latency in data center networks by
- utilising the proportion of Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) marks
- received from capable hardware as a congestion signal.</p>
-<p class="Pp">DCTCP uses fraction of ECN marked packets to update congestion
- window. The window reduction ratio is always &lt;= 1/2. Only when all of the
- packets are marked, congestion window is halved.</p>
-<p class="Pp">In order to keep the accuracy of the ECN marked fraction, a DCTCP
- receiver mirrors back incoming (or missing) CE marks by setting (or
- clearing) ECE marks. This feedback methodology is also adopted when the
- receiver uses delayed ACK.</p>
-<p class="Pp">The <span class="Ux">FreeBSD</span> DCTCP implementation includes
- two minor modifications for the one-sided deployment. Considering the
- situation that DCTCP is used as sender and classic ECN is used as receiver,
- DCTCP sets the CWR flag as the reaction to the ECE flag. In addition, when
- classic ECN is used as sender and DCTCP is used as receiver, DCTCP avoids to
- mirror back ACKs only when the CWR flag is set in the incoming packet.</p>
-<p class="Pp">The other specifications are based on the paper and the RFC
- referenced in the <a class="Sx" href="#SEE_ALSO">SEE ALSO</a> section
- below.</p>

- Variables</a></h1>
-<p class="Pp">The algorithm exposes the following tunable variables in the
- <var class="Va">net.inet.tcp.cc.dctcp</var> branch of the
- <a class="Xr">sysctl(3)</a> MIB:</p>
-<dl class="Bl-tag">
- <dt id="alpha"><var class="Va">alpha</var></dt>
- <dd>The initial value to estimate the congestion on the link. The valid range
- is from 0 to 1024, where 1024 reduces the congestion window to half, if a
- CE is observed in the first window and <var class="Va">alpha</var> could
- not yet adjust to the congestion level on that path. Default is 1024.</dd>
- <dt id="shift_g"><var class="Va">shift_g</var></dt>
- <dd>An estimation gain in the <var class="Va">alpha</var> calculation. This
- influences the responsiveness when adjusting alpha to the most recent
- observed window. Valid range from 0 to 10, the default is 4, resulting in
- an effective gain of 1 / ( 2 ^ <var class="Va">shift_g</var> ), or
- 1/16th.</dd>
- <dt id="slowstart"><var class="Va">slowstart</var></dt>
- <dd>A flag if the congestion window should be reduced by one half after slow
- start. Valid settings 0 and 1, default 0.</dd>
- <dt id="ect1"><var class="Va">ect1</var></dt>
- <dd>Controls if a DCTCP session should use IP ECT(0) marking when sending out
- segments (default), or ECT(1) marking making use of L4S infrastructure.
- Changes to this setting will only affect new sessions, existing sessions
- will retain their previous marking value.</dd>
