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
|
|
|
|
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.
