Ueki Kohei reported that when we are using NewReno with connections that
have a very low traffic, we may timeout the connection too early if a
second loss occurs after the first one was successfully acked but no
data was transfered later. Below is his description of it:
When SACK is disabled, and a socket suffers multiple separate TCP
retransmissions, that socket's ETIMEDOUT value is calculated from the
time of the *first* retransmission instead of the *latest*
retransmission.
This happens because the tcp_sock's retrans_stamp is set once then never
cleared.
Take the following connection:
Linux remote-machine
| |
send#1---->(*1)|--------> data#1 --------->|
| | |
RTO : :
| | |
---(*2)|----> data#1(retrans) ---->|
| (*3)|<---------- ACK <----------|
| | |
| : :
| : :
| : :
16 minutes (or more) :
| : :
| : :
| : :
| | |
send#2---->(*4)|--------> data#2 --------->|
| | |
RTO : :
| | |
---(*5)|----> data#2(retrans) ---->|
| | |
| | |
RTO*2 : :
| | |
| | |
ETIMEDOUT<----(*6)| |
(*1) One data packet sent.
(*2) Because no ACK packet is received, the packet is retransmitted.
(*3) The ACK packet is received. The transmitted packet is acknowledged.
At this point the first "retransmission event" has passed and been
recovered from. Any future retransmission is a completely new "event".
(*4) After 16 minutes (to correspond with retries2=15), a new data
packet is sent. Note: No data is transmitted between (*3) and (*4).
The socket's timeout SHOULD be calculated from this point in time, but
instead it's calculated from the prior "event" 16 minutes ago.
(*5) Because no ACK packet is received, the packet is retransmitted.
(*6) At the time of the 2nd retransmission, the socket returns
ETIMEDOUT.
Therefore, now we clear retrans_stamp as soon as all data during the
loss window is fully acked.
