Description of changes:
BBRv2 uses a
WindowedMaxFilter
of size 2 to track the maximum bandwidth sample that had been obtained over the current bandwidth probing cycle and the previous bandwidth probing cycle. The way this is supposed to work is each time BBR completes a cycle from ProbeBW_Down -> ProbeBW_Cruise -> ProbeBW_Refill -> ProbeBW_Up, a counter is incremented.This can be seen in the BBR draft RFC pseudo-code.
BBRAdvanceMaxBwFilter()
increments the counter:Unfortunetly this pseudocode does not change the
BBR.ack_phase
, which allows theBBRAdvanceMaxBwFilter()
function to be called multiple times within the same bandwidth probing cycle.This is addressed in the Linux TCP BBRv2 implementation by setting the ACK phase to the
Init
phase, ensuring that the max bandwidth counter is only incremented once:This change follows the Linux TCP BBRv2 implementation and transitions the ack phase to
AckPhase::Init
fromAckPhase::ProbeStopping
Testing:
Added a unit test and updated others
