  DCTCP (DataCenter TCP)
  ----------------------
  
  DCTCP is an enhancement to the TCP congestion control algorithm for data
  center networks and leverages Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) in
  the data center network to provide multi-bit feedback to the end hosts.
  
  To enable it on end hosts:
  
    sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=dctcp
    sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_ecn_fallback=0 (optional)
  
  All switches in the data center network running DCTCP must support ECN
  marking and be configured for marking when reaching defined switch buffer
  thresholds. The default ECN marking threshold heuristic for DCTCP on
  switches is 20 packets (30KB) at 1Gbps, and 65 packets (~100KB) at 10Gbps,
  but might need further careful tweaking.
  
  For more details, see below documents:
