What
Extends congestion avoidance already present in onesided alltoall to include RTT to skip and revisit potentially congested peers.
Why ?
The original congestion avoidance calculates a set of tokens to limit the amount of messages in flight, which is useful for medium messages, but has limited effect for large messages.
How ?
When token calculation results in less than 1 token, the algorithm segments messages to calculate a RTT and determine if the RTT is beyond a particular threshold (25%) of the estimated latency. This causes the sender to stop sending to the congested rank and move to the next available rank for a set number of times before forcing the send of the message.
