| 17 | If you intend to run your Linux box mostly as a router, i.e. as a |
| 18 | computer that forwards and redistributes network packets, say Y; you |
| 19 | will then be presented with several options that allow more precise |
| 20 | control about the routing process. |

| 22 | The answer to this question won't directly affect the kernel: |

| 26 | Note that your box can only act as a router if you enable IP |

| 610 | YeAH-TCP is a sender-side high-speed enabled TCP congestion control |

| 635 | DCTCP leverages Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) in the network to |
| 636 | provide multi-bit feedback to the end hosts. It is designed to provide: |
| 637 | |
| 638 | - High burst tolerance (incast due to partition/aggregate), |
| 639 | - Low latency (short flows, queries), |
| 640 | - High throughput (continuous data updates, large file transfers) with |
| 641 | commodity, shallow-buffered switches. |
| 642 | |
| 643 | All switches in the data center network running DCTCP must support |
| 644 | ECN marking and be configured for marking when reaching defined switch |
| 645 | buffer thresholds. The default ECN marking threshold heuristic for |
| 646 | DCTCP on switches is 20 packets (30KB) at 1Gbps, and 65 packets |
| 647 | (~100KB) at 10Gbps, but might need further careful tweaking. |
