PLB is described in the following paper: + https://doi.org/10.1145/3544216.3544226. Based on PLB parameters, + upon sensing sustained congestion, TCP triggers a change in + flow label field for outgoing IPv6 packets. A change in flow label + field potentially changes the path of outgoing packets for switches + that use ECMP/WCMP for routing. + + PLB changes socket txhash which results in a change in IPv6 Flow Label + field, and currently no-op for IPv4 headers. It is possible + to apply PLB for IPv4 with other network header fields (e.g. TCP + or IPv4 options) or using encapsulation where outer header is used + by switches to determine next hop. In either case, further host + and switch side changes will be needed. + + When set, PLB assumes that congestion signal (e.g. ECN) is made + available and used by congestion control module to estimate a + congestion measure (e.g. ce_ratio).

In order to avoid + having PLB repath onto a connectivity "black hole", after an RTO a TCP + connection suspends PLB repathing for a random duration between 1x and + 2x of this parameter.
