Folks,
Was chatting to Arnaldo about how I was working on this and he suggested to
post to list. I'm still working on it but anybody else can feel free to help!
I was getting the following in my logs sometimes when testing and the
connection would basically stop:
Nov 1 15:16:47 localhost kernel: [15923.523670] dccp_li_hist_calc_i_mean:
w_tot = 0
So I've added some debugs in as per below:

And now I get these subcases:
Nov 2 21:22:21 localhost kernel: [26564.665163] ccid3_hc_rx_calc_first_li: p
== 0, fval = 7046
This is due to the computed x_recv being very, very low I believe. So it sets
it to ~0
Nov 2 21:22:21 localhost kernel: [26564.665381] dccp_li_hist_calc_i_mean:
w_tot = 0
Nov 3 02:27:46 localhost kernel: [44880.646467] ccid3_hc_rx_calc_first_li:
server, sk=dc04b16c, Could not find a win_count interval > 0. Defaulting to 1
Nov 3 02:27:46 localhost kernel: [44880.646538] tmp2 = 0
ccid3_hc_rx_calc_first_li: x_recv = 0, rtt =1
These other cases I have to investigate. First is most common though. I think I
should fix them all.
Other random notes:
This is from dccp_li_hist_calc_i_mean in ccids/lib/loss_interval.c
Because dccp_li_hist_w[i] is static this means that all values of
li_entry->dccplih_interval must be ~0.
calc_i_mean is only called by ccid3_hc_rx_packet_recv in ccids/ccid3.c after a
loss has been found. This means that li_entry->dccplih_interval on one of the
nodes mustn't be getting set.
dccplih_interval only gets altered in ccid3_hc_rx_update_li in ccid3.c. If the
list is empty it gets created and dccplih_interval gets set to
ccid3_hc_rx_calc_first_li or alternatively to dccp_delta_seqno result.
dccp_delta_seqno could return ~0 if numbers are reversed. (but this has proved
not to be the case yet)
The spec does say transmission can drop to as low as 1 packet every 64 seconds
but some of it is tied up to this I think:
