Sounds reasonable, but could we get more detail on what's in and out of
scope for these two projects -- e.g., is pluggable congestion control
limited to TCP or also applicable to SCTP?
The goal is to support SCTP as well as TCP. A new type of loadable
kernel modules will implement congestion control algorithms. More
specifically, the function of each algorithm will be to dynamically
adjust, increase or decrease, sending rate based on its unique notion
of available bandwidth and presence of congestion in the network.
Are there any plans to import interfaces from the crossbow project to
provide hints to IP about what the available bandwidth might be?
Or is available bandwidth only a result of discovery through
sending/receiving traffic?
Will all of the existing congestion control algorithms be modified to
use the new interfaces delivered by this?
If so, will this include our implementation of Explicit Congestion
Notification (ECN) for TCP?
