<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi,<br><br></div>I am a little bit confused about the SlowStart and CurCWND variables exposed by web10G, version 2.0.7. <br><br></div>I have a connection that according to Web10G, never exists the SS, and its SlowStart variable is 235, meaning that the CWND has been increased a total of 235 times.<br>
<br></div>However, when I look at the packet traces of the connection using tcpdump, I see more than 15K new ACKs being delieverd for this connection (even with byte counting approach), which according to many RFCs such as 2581, each of them must make the CWND to increase by one MSS. So why only increase CWND 235 times?<br>
<div> <br></div><div>I'm not sure if Web10G is exposing the correct value or if there is something I am missing. I'd really appreciate if anyone has any hints on why this could be happening and how I can verify the correctness of either of these values.<br>
