|
.Nd CUBIC Congestion Control Algorithm
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The CUBIC congestion control algorithm was designed to provide increased
|
|
throughput in fast and long-distance networks.
|
|
It attempts to maintain fairness when competing with legacy NewReno TCP in lower
|
|
speed scenarios where NewReno is able to operate adequately.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The congestion window is increased as a function of the time elapsed since the
|
|
last congestion event.
|
|
During regular operation, the window increase function follows a cubic function,
|
|
with the inflection point set to be the congestion window value reached at the
|
|
last congestion event.
|
|
CUBIC also calculates an estimate of the congestion window that NewReno would
|
|
have achieved at a given time after a congestion event.
|
|
When updating the congestion window, the algorithm will choose the larger of the
|
|
calculated CUBIC and estimated NewReno windows.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
CUBIC also backs off less on congestion by changing the multiplicative decrease
|
|
factor from 1/2 (used by standard NewReno TCP) to 4/5.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The implementation was done in a clean-room fashion, and is based on the
|
|
Internet Draft and paper referenced in the

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
congestion control module first appeared in
|
|
.Fx 9.0 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The module was first released in 2009 by Lawrence Stewart whilst studying at
|
|
Swinburne University of Technology's Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures,
|
|
Melbourne, Australia.
