Two meanings for a_aimd #64

@nsdyoshi does this address your comment? |
Sorry. my view is a bit different. At least, this is confusing to me. But, I'm fine to keep it if all other folks don't think in this way. |
@Lars I am not sure if other folks are looking at these issues, what's the best way to get their opinion on this? |
@nsdyoshi Thanks, Yoshi. I can see that it is kind of confusing. Section 4.3 describes an analysis of an AIMD algorithm with parameters alpha and beta to explain why and how CUBIC determines its alpha value. We thought about introducing two more variables (alpha, and beta) explicitly for CUBIC, which seem more confusing (too many variables). |
On the list. |
@nsdyoshi I have sent this on the list. If no response is received, would you be fine with closing this issue as is? |
@goelvidhi yes, fine with me. But, I think we might want to set a certain deadline and notify people. |
I think the explanation would be clearer if the formula for AVG_AIMD was rewritten using unsuffixed α and β parameters, α(aimd) and β(aimd) were used exclusively to refer to the Reno parameters, and α(cubic) and β(cubic) used to refer exclusively to the CUBIC parameters. The process of calculating α(cubic) can then be explained as equalising the values of AVG_AIMD(α(aimd), β(aimd)) and AVG_AIMD(α(cubic), β(cubic)). |
I have opened a PR where I use alpha and beta for general equation and further derivation of alpha. |
