2 /* DataCenter TCP (DCTCP) congestion control.
3  *
4  * http://simula.stanford.edu/~alizade/Site/DCTCP.html
5  *
6  * This is an implementation of DCTCP over Reno, an enhancement to the
7  * TCP congestion control algorithm designed for data centers. DCTCP
8  * leverages Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) in the network to
9  * provide multi-bit feedback to the end hosts. DCTCP's goal is to meet
10  * the following three data center transport requirements:
11  *
12  *  - High burst tolerance (incast due to partition/aggregate)
13  *  - Low latency (short flows, queries)
14  *  - High throughput (continuous data updates, large file transfers)
15  *    with commodity shallow buffered switches
16  *
17  * The algorithm is described in detail in the following two papers:
18  *
19  * 1) Mohammad Alizadeh, Albert Greenberg, David A. Maltz, Jitendra Padhye,
20  *    Parveen Patel, Balaji Prabhakar, Sudipta Sengupta, and Murari Sridharan:
21  *      "Data Center TCP (DCTCP)", Data Center Networks session
22  *      Proc. ACM SIGCOMM, New Delhi, 2010.
23  *   http://simula.stanford.edu/~alizade/Site/DCTCP_files/dctcp-final.pdf

25  * 2) Mohammad Alizadeh, Adel Javanmard, and Balaji Prabhakar:

28  *   http://simula.stanford.edu/~alizade/Site/DCTCP_files/dctcp_analysis-full.pdf
29  *
