Re: [Bloat] less than best effort: TCP - flexis - A New Approach To Incipient Congestion Detection and Control

Hi Dave, Thanks for the feedback! I had been working on a major revision of the submitted paper. I was asked to compare FlexiS with LEDBAT++. I also added a greedy BE to greedy LBE test, something like that reported in your work. And I also added a reference to your suggested work. It is possibl

I have not had time to play with this much more, but it remains promising. Although you dismiss the ieas of not reducing the mss as not cost effective, I think for certain kinds of traffic it it worth pursuing. Also, based on some tests on a busy wifi network elsewhere, doing packet pacing on a pe

Hello again, I have uploaded the source code to GitHub. You can find it here: https://github.com/tinalee77/FlexiS I have done some editing to the original code that was used to produce the results in the paper. First, I removed all debugging statements. Second, I updated comments so that they ar

Hi Dave, I was just told that I am allowed to distribute the code freely. I will upload it to GitHub and will send you the link as soon as I am done with it. As for the AQM test, I set the QDisc to FQ-CoDel, CoDel, and CAKE, but none worked on CORE. In contrast, RED and PIE worked as expected. As

Dear Dave, Thank you for your interest in my work. I have read another paper authored by D. Rossi at el. presenting the priority inversion problem of LEDBAT when it is used together with AQM. And it has become one of the factors that motivated me to devise a new LBE CC that can preserve low prior

Dear Qian: Pretty promising paper. I liked that it tackled congestion on the ack path, among other things. https://www.techrxiv.org/articles/preprint/TCP_FlexiS_A_New_Approach_To_Incipient_Congestion_Detection_and_Control/19077161/1/files/33905018.pdf I like also that you tackled, inter-rtt fair
