tcp_cubic: refine Hystart delay threshold
In commit 2b4636a5f8ca ("tcp_cubic: make the delay threshold of HyStart
less sensitive"), HYSTART_DELAY_MIN was changed to 4 ms.
The remaining problem is that using delay_min + (delay_min/16) as the
threshold is too sensitive.
6.25 % of variation is too small for rtt above 60 ms, which are not
uncommon.
Lets use 12.5 % instead (delay_min + (delay_min/8))
Tested:
80 ms RTT between peers, FQ/pacing packet scheduler on sender.
10 bulk transfers of 10 seconds :
nstat >/dev/null
for i in `seq 1 10`
do
netperf -H remote -- -k THROUGHPUT | grep THROUGHPUT
done
nstat | grep Hystart
With the 6.25 % threshold :
THROUGHPUT=20.66
THROUGHPUT=249.38
THROUGHPUT=254.10
THROUGHPUT=14.94
THROUGHPUT=251.92
THROUGHPUT=237.73
THROUGHPUT=19.18
