When in congestion avoidance state and when acknowledging an <acked> number bytes
we must increase the congestion window by at most one datagram (<path->mtu>)
by congestion window. So thanks to this patch we apply a ratio to the current
number of acked bytes : <acked> * <path->mtu> / <cwnd>.
So, when <cwnd> bytes are acked we precisely increment <cwnd> by <path->mtu>.
Furthermore we take into an account the number of remaining acknowledged bytes
each time we increment the window by <acked> storing their values in the algorithm
struct state (->remain_acked) so that it might be take into an account at the
next ACK event.
We establish the persistent congestion out of any congestion controller
to improve the algorithms genericity. This path characteristic detection may
be implemented regarless of the underlying congestion control algorithm.
Send congestion (loss) event using directly quic_cc_event(), so without
qc_cc_loss_event() wrapper function around quic_cc_event().
Take the opportunity of this patch to shorten "newest_time_sent" member field
of quic_cc_event to "time_sent".
We want to be able to make the congestion controllers re-enter the slow
start state outside of the congestion controllers themselves. So,
we add a callback ->slow_start() to do so.
Define this callback for NewReno algorithm.
QUIC connection path in flight bytes is a variable which should not be manipulated
by the congestion controller. This latter aim is to compute the congestion window.
So, we pass it as less as parameters as possible to do so.
As reported by Tim in issue #1428, our sources are clean, there are
just a few files with a few rare non-ASCII chars for the paragraph
symbol, a few typos, or in Fred's name. Given that Fred already uses
the non-accentuated form at other places like on the public list,
let's uniformize all this and make sure the code displays equally
everywhere.
This patch imports all the C files for QUIC protocol implementation with few
modifications from 20200720-quic branch of quic-dev repository found at
https://github.com/haproxytech/quic-dev.
Traces were implemented to help with the development.
