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 |
492135557 tcp: add rfc3168,... |

sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_ecn_fallback=0 (optional) |

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. For more details, see below documents: Paper: The algorithm is further described in detail in the following two SIGCOMM/SIGMETRICS papers: i) Mohammad Alizadeh, Albert Greenberg, David A. Maltz, Jitendra Padhye, Parveen Patel, Balaji Prabhakar, Sudipta Sengupta, and Murari Sridharan: |
