Help to understand the behaviour of TCP-Cubic module in FreeBSD
Hi Everyone, I am trying to develop TCP-CUBIC and using Free-BSD as a standard device for testing. To load the Cubic module in FreeBSD the following commands were executed : kldload ./cc_cubic.ko sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.cc.algorithm=cubic The test method has been attached which was used to understand the behaviour of TCP-Cubic. There are few questions regarding the behaviour of FreeBSD. Q1) After receiving Full Acknowledgement from the receiver, sender entered into Congestion Avoidance State. At that moment filghtsize was equal to 0 and CWND became 1. Now, sender will increase its CWND according to CUBIC algorithm but FreeBSD follows Slow Start Algorithm by incrementing CWND from 1 --> 2 --> 4 segments. As per my understanding, if FreeBSD follows TCP-Cubic functionality, it should be in TCP friendly region. So, CWND should be 7 in next RTT. Calculation has been provided below : *W_tcp(t) = W_Max * (1 - beta) + 3 * beta/(2 - beta) * t/RTT* *=> W_tcp(t) = 7 * *[W_Max = 8, congestion occurs = 18.874sec , current time = 18.878sec, therefore elapsed time t = 0.004 sec, RTT = (18.878 - 18.876) = 0.002 sec, beta = 0.2]* But I find that it incremented to 2 rather than 7. Could you please explain this behaviour ? Q2) If my tool acknowledges all the packets coming from FreeBSD after Fast Retransmit, the segment sequence was 1 --> 2 --> 4 --> 5 --> 6 --> 7 --> 8 --> 6 --> 6 --> 6... Why after sending 8 segments in congestion avoidance state, CWND unexpectedly sets to 6 ? Q3) What will be the unit of t and RTT (i.e seconds or miliseconds) ? Q4) In Cubic-draft both concave and convex use the same formula. Only difference in convex it depends on max_increment_rate. How does max_increment_rate variable can be calculated ? If I have any wrong understanding please rectify me and I will be very grateful if you could answer the questions as soon as possible. Thanks in advance, Debojyoti Roy The following method has been used to test the Cubic in congestion avoidance state : + | Test Action in | | Step No. the step Comments | + |1 RECEIVER sends SYN packet Connection Estublishment | |2 FreeBSD sends SYN-ACK packet | |3 RECEIVER sends ACK packet | +---+ |4 FreeBSD sends 4 segments From here we can infer that initial window size is 4. So, CWND = 4 | +---+ |5 RECEIVER sends ACK for all 4 segments FreeBSD will follow the Slow Start Algorithm.

A follow-up to this issue.
I tried to run the dd commands...
Using the LiveFS disc for FreeBSD 9.1, I got some manner of permission
error, indicating that something would not let the dd commands execute.
Using the LiveFS disc for FreeBSD 8.3, the dd commands completely
successfully.
After zero-ing out the sectors, I tried to install FreeBSD 9.1, and I
continued to get the RAID problems trying to mount root.
So I punted that drive, and used another drive. FreeBSD 9.1 installed
without an issue, and it is running fine as I type this.
So there is something about that other disk drive (something that is
not in the last two sectors or the first sector) that the 9.1 install
has issues with.
Thanks for the assist.

With the goal of moving along with the install, I preferred to use a different drive. I do not think the drive was ever attached to a RAID controller as part of a RAID array. As I mentioned earlier, there is a Promise RAID controller in the box. That controller was not set up as a RAID controller, but as a vanilla SATA controller. And, after checking inside the box, the drive in question was not plugged into the RAID controller, but a vanilla SATA port on the motherboard. It may be possible that the RAID controller nonetheless did have the opportunity to put its "mark" on the drive at some point in the distant past. I cannot rule that out completely. It just would have been nice if the FreeBSD install offered a better way to recover from the problem. I plan to do a full wipe of the old drive using dd to completely clear it out. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Except that you have a spec for mtree to be sure the backup copy hasn't been corrupted. I don't see any way to do this directly. What you probably want to do is use find(1) to pick out the new files to check, and then merge the changes into the old mtree(8) spec.

I don't get the SMTP prompt.
WHAT HAPPENS when you -try- to send an email _out_?
Do you get an error email?
No.
Does it show in the outbound mail queue?
(if it's in the queue, look at the qf* file, to see why it is deferred.)

Re: Backup with mtree and rsync?
I don't see any way to do this directly. What you probably want to do is use find(1) to pick out the new files to check, and then merge the changes into the old mtree(8) spec. Not trivial, but the spec syntax is intended to be easy to parse, so it shouldn't be that hard either. What I am currently doing somewhat fits your description. I feed find output into a C program that merges the old description with the directory state to produce a new description. However, I use a format different than mtree. I was seeking a shorter, more elegant, solution. It's possible that the mtree support in tar(8) might be able to do it, but it would probably be a lot slower.

"Insufficient data"
a) does telnet say "connected"?
b) if yes, how long did you wait for the banner?
(if there's a DNS problem, it can be 90 seconds befre the banner line)
For testing, consider running sendmail in -foreground (not as a daemon) with
the debug level turned up.

Supposedly you fixed the above problem. But sendmail disagrees.
check permissions on / /home and /home/huff if any are symlinks,
check the 'pointed-to' directory as well.

ok, it's been trying to deliver for nearly three days. with local delivery
(program mail.local) failing.
mail.local can fail for a number of reasons that shouldn't happen.
check permissions on the mailbox directory also owner/permissions on the
mailbox, for starters. maildir quota set??

sh script problem with capturing return code
I can not get the return code from mtree to control
the displaying of a error message.
The mtree at the end of the script does function correctly
because I can tell from the printed output.
When mtree prints comments saying "extra" that means the directory being
read does not match the specification file. return code should be Not
equal to zero.
And when they do match IE: no mtree comments printed, that should be a
return code of zero.
I tried 2 different ways to capture the return code to no joy.
What I am doing wrong?

It seems that returning 0 is correct in a case as you mentioned.
The manual at "man mtree" states:
EXIT STATUS
The mtree utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
Question: What _is_ an error here?
If you use the source Luke at /usr/src/usr.sbin/mtree/mtree.c,
you could find out what combination of options plus circumstances
found at runtime could trigger an exit status != 0.
The main() functions finishes with exit(status); where status
is either set by functions mtree_specspec() or mtree_verifyspec(),
or manually to 0 when -U is provided and MISMATCHEXIT (is 2) is
encountered.
Again from the manual:
-uSame as -U except a status of 2 is returned if the file hierarchy
did not match the specification.
-UModify the owner, group, permissions, and modification time of
existing files to match the specification and create any missing
directories or symbolic links. User, group and permissions must
all be specified for missing directories to be created. Corrected
mismatches are not considered errors.
However, you're not using -U, but -u, so the last sentence of
the description above should be relevant: No error per se,
even though the status code should be 2.

Well I just tested with -U -u together no joy.
Tested with -U no joy.
My read of the above is -u should cause a return code of 2 when the file
hierarchy does not match the specification. I don't want -U because I am
not modifying any content of the directory tree mtree is looking at.
I just don't get the point your trying to make.
Oh the other hand are you saying the script code is correct to capture
the return code but using wrong options with mtree ?

how to change from STABLE to RELEASE?
Dear folks, I am happily running FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE on one of my machines, but I want to move to FreeBSD-RELEASE and use # freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.1-RELEASE but it does not find a valid repository. How can I solve this issue to move to newer RELEASE and avoid staying on STABLE because I will have to compile/build world and it takes a good while to build and then may have to rebuild all the ports.

Hi Freebsd.Org Team, I thought you might like to know some of the reasons why you are not getting enough organic & social media traffic on your website. I would like to update you that your website is still not ranked on the top pages of Google SERPs for your popular keywords (Products). Your loss is your competitor’s gain i.e. the traffic which could have generated quality sales for you goes to your competitors as they rank well in the Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs) organically. Reasons: 1. HTML and other on-page errors are present on your website. 2. Low number of internal and external quality links present on your website. 3. Duplicate or low quality contents present in your website without any regular update. 4. Need to update fresh contents on your website and blogs as per the latest Google guideline. 5. Broken Links and Poison words might be present in your website. 6. Social media profile needs to be updated regularly. Long gone are the days when Google used to give priority to websites of keyword based domains or websites with huge number of links.

which version of FBSD should i install?
guys,
I used my EEE-900a [[last year]] to wow the medical team downtown
with my unfinished VBC program. since nobody seems willing to
volunteer to test the (*almost*)-finished version, I figure I
ms well use my 2005 Thinkpad. it is reasonably fast at 3.06GHz.
should clue me in on how much stuff I need to compile to test.
I want the Gnome Desktop, espeak, and gvim. If there is a CD
or DVD with 9.x, can somebody give me a URL?
tia,
gary
PS: The reason that vbc is only "almost" finished is that I need
to do a much better job outlining a.) the basics of using gvim,
b.) the basics of using the application, and c.) figuring the
best way of using the "File" menu dropdown to _Save the
existing files ... and more. the worst part is the
documentation... .
PPS: ive found and expanding a few lines {maybe 15-20} on
gvim/vim/vi. ineed to know how this reads. figure you guys will
know.

You should be able to run anything from 7.4, 8.3, 9.1 to 10.0. I mention 7.4 here for a simple reason. It could be that your old machine uses some USB hardware, which is not supported from 8.0 onwards. I would say, if it works, use 9.1. If not check out 7.4. If this then works, you could check 10 out. 8.3 is the version which is the most robust one as the new stuff did not arrive there yet.

I don't know if this was intentional, but your zroot pool is
configured with absolutely no redundancy unless you have set the
zfs copies property to a value greater than 1 on selected file
systems if not all file systems. The text quoted below does not
indicate any of this.
You should at the very least mirror your zroot pool between no less
than 2 drives/partitions, shouldn't raidz{1,2,3} with the appropriate
number of drives/partitions prove tempting or possible hardwarewise.

I'm very sorry for your loss, but apparently these files aren't

This is exactly what I would expect, and what you said you weren't
getting. You didn't show what you ran your script on, or what the
results were, so I can't tell you what you're doing wrong -- but compare
my example to yours and I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out.
Good luck.
