Hello list,
my employer is asking me to implement westwood, this is most likely happen
on 8.0.
before I start, I'd like to know for what reason it hasn't been done in the
main tree?
is it that no one has had time, or it only work in a lab environment? may be
too many changes in the stack
and it's not trivial? etc...
IMHO, lack of a really compelling reason is a good start. Changing the
TCP stack is fiddly and error prone work.
Does any one out there has patch they can share?
I haven't come across a BSD licenced implementation in my travels,
although FreeBSD already does a few different types of bandwidth
estimation and limiting (which, in their current form at least, I'm
personally not a fan of).
would the project be interested in a patch if I do this?
I'm interested in and actively working on this area in FreeBSD. I
already have a patch available that adds modular congestion control
support to FreeBSD's TCP stack which would be a good starting point for
you. I would also be supportive of importing a Westwood congestion
control module into FreeBSD after you complete it.
Have a look at the project branches here:
http://svn.freebsd.org/base/projects/tcp_cc_{7.x,8.x,head}
Happy to discuss further when you're ready.
Cheers,
Lawrence
