I haven’t done too much testing, but as far as I can tell there is an issue when the bottleneck bandwidth is smaller than RMAX: 
If you have a competition scenario between NADA and a loss based flow, it seems that nada gets stuck in the competitive mode because itself creates queueing delay that is larger than QTH. 

I actually made a little mistake when I said the problem has gotten worse compared to the last version of the draft. The issue actually has been introduced in version 03 with the introduction of TEXPLOSS. Before, the draft was very unclear and stated that one should warp the congestion signal IFF packet loss is present, but without stating a time span.

Therefore the implementation just used the knowledge it had from the recent observation window LOGWIN (500 ms). That worked really well because it helped the algorithm to return to the normal mode of operation more easily, because after that timespan it would stop warping regardless whether there is lots of queueing delay present or not.

I don’t know if this is an issue with my implementation or if there is an actual issue with the algorithm, but this is what I have observed.

I’ll contact Xiaoqing and Sergio directly so we can work together on this issue and post our findings to this mailing list directly.

Regards,

Julius
