* Measure a link on a path of loss, reordering and a bottleneck (M6 harness)eunhhu2026-09-291-0/+247
| | | | | | | | | 020-lossy-paths/run.py runs each case in an unprivileged namespace: a 50 Mbit/s tbf bottleneck under netem's delay, jitter and loss, both ways. A link may send without UDP GSO (pure_link_gso), as netem takes a burst as one packet; quinn the same (QUIC_GSO=0). transport.c and the quinn harness give the records handed over in each 100 ms, and at a steady rate the time each took; TCP CUBIC flows run beside them.
* Wait for late packets, undo what they cost, and grow as CUBICeunhhu2026-09-291-0/+165
A packet called lost stays known a while; acknowledged after all, it came late: what it carried counts as received, the reordering awaited grows (later packets acknowledged, and time past the RTT, as RACK), and an episode of congestion events whose losses all came late is undone. The window grows only when it was used (RFC 9002 7.8), and congestion avoidance is CUBIC (RFC 9438), as quinn's. In a path of 50 Mbit/s whose packets reorder by up to 5 ms, with no loss, a link carried 1.5 Mbit/s at an RTT of 20 ms and 10 at 100 ms; now 43.6 and 40.1, as without reordering (research/experiments/020-lossy-paths, virtual time). With 1% random loss: 4.9 to 6.1 at 20 ms, 1.0 to 1.3 at 100 ms. The transport's CPU a record is unchanged.
