- ---help---
- Use higher lower bound for nofeedback timer expiration.
-
- The TFRC nofeedback timer normally expires after the maximum of 4
- RTTs and twice the current send interval (RFC 3448, 4.3). On LANs
- with a small RTT this can mean a high processing load and reduced
- performance, since then the nofeedback timer is triggered very
- frequently.
-
- This option enables to set a higher lower bound for the nofeedback
- value. Values in units of milliseconds can be set here.
-
- A value of 0 disables this feature by enforcing the value specified
- in RFC 3448. The following values have been suggested as bounds for
- experimental use:
- * 16-20ms to match the typical multimedia inter-frame interval
- * 100ms as a reasonable compromise [default]
- * 1000ms corresponds to the lower TCP RTO bound (RFC 2988, 2.4)
-
- The default of 100ms is a compromise between a large value for
- efficient DCCP implementations, and a small value to avoid disrupting
- the network in times of congestion.
-
- The purpose of the nofeedback timer is to slow DCCP down when there
- is serious network congestion: experimenting with larger values should
- therefore not be performed on WANs.
