perf(net): sample the send-rate estimate only while a reservation reads it - #7524
Finishes quest/m2/performance-survey/browser-idle-stats.md: a browser connection now samples getStats() for its send-rate estimate only while a bandwidth reservation reads it. Receive-only, idle and lingering pooled connections do no local stats work, and a session whose transport can never report an estimate (the WebSocket fallback, WebRTC, or WebTransport without getStats()) is never sampled. A new real-browser stats benchmark scenario measured it, base first.
Changes
js/net/src/bandwidth.ts: Allocator tracks whether it holds a reservation that can read a slice. This is the same test shareOf uses: the track's demand is not closed. The flag is exposed through an @internalreserved(allocator) getter that bandwidth_api.ts does not re-export, so the API report is unchanged.
js/net/src/connection/reload.ts: the 100 ms sampling effect also depends on reserved(this.allocator). Without a reservation it does not run and the estimate is undefined. Cadence while reserved is unchanged.
js/net/src/connection/bandwidth.test.ts: a manual-clock test. It checks for no snapshots while connected and unreserved, exactly 3 per 350 ms while reserved, none after release or after the track closes, and that the next reservation never reads a stale estimate. With the gate removed it fails (Expected 0, Received 3).
js/net/src/connection/stats.ts: canEstimate(quic) is true only for a WebTransport session (by transportOf) that has a getStats function. Each Lite and IETF session records it at construction with detect(this, quic), and estimates(session) reads it from a WeakSet, the same pattern as heldOf. All three are @internal and stats.ts is not re-exported, so the API report is unchanged.
js/net/src/connection/reload.ts: the sampling effect also requires estimates(connection), so a reservation over a transport that cannot report starts no timer. The estimate stays undefined there, as before.
Tests, one per transport kind.stats.test.ts checks canEstimate and the recorded estimates for WebTransport with and without getStats, the WebSocket fallback (a mock chained onto qmux's Session.prototype) and WebRTC, on both moq-lite-06 and moq-transport-18. bandwidth.test.ts runs a reservation through Connection over WebTransport without getStats and over WebRTC on a manual clock: no stats() call in 350 ms and the slice stays undefined. With the gate removed both fail (Expected 0, Received 4).
bench/browser: new stats scenario (page/stats.ts, calls.ts, driver and bundler wiring) and README docs. doc/lib/js/net.md documents the behavior.
bench/browser/sampling.ts: the scenario's equivalent-work checks, with negative cases in sampling.test.ts. A window fails unless every reservation over a WebTransport with getStats() holds a slice, and none does over qmux or without getStats(). It also fails when a receive-shape reader reads nothing, counted per connection, or when a stats resume cycle never gets its first slice. Before this, only more estimates than reservations failed, so a regression that stopped sampling would have passed and read as cheaper. That was the automated review's P2 on 68d9dc60ba.
The quest is deleted, along with its link in the epic README.
Measurements
Command: HARNESS_RUNS=… nix develop --command just bench-browser origin/main --scenarios stats --rounds 5. That is 1 warmup round plus 5 measured rounds, with alternating rotated variants base, current and aa.
Base:origin/main at d42abb2a. It has no js/ diff from this branch's merge base c1a1412820.
Current:d38cddafd1.
Host: Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus with 24 logical CPUs, Linux, Chromium 156.0.8078.4 headless --disable-gpu. The host was shared, with load averages of 8 to 16.
Dirty path:dirty_paths: 1 is a biome reflow of driver.ts made during the run, with no semantic change. It is committed in 2fdf68043b.
Shipping Chromium has no WebTransport.getStats(). It appears only with --enable-blink-features=WebTransportStats. So the scenario runs in a second Chromium with that flag, where sampling does real transport work. Its absent shapes delete the method again to match shipping Chromium and Safari.
Values are medians over rounds, base → current. Δ is the median of paired per-round deltas, with the range in brackets; the A/A column is aa − current. Allocation is V8's sampling heap profiler with collected objects included, from one counted pass per variant.

The absent rows report setTimeout calls per second, because without the API there are no getStats calls to count.
Delivered work is unchanged. Reservations holding a slice match in every shape (1, 4, 16 or 64 when reserved; qmux and absent have none). Receive delivered 30.43 vs 30.43 fps (c1) and 486.8 vs 487.1 fps (c16), every byte checked.
Pooled control: four identical handles always ran exactly one loop.
Resume latency: in stats resume x10, the first slice after re-reserving on an idle connection went from 0.10 to 0.50 ms p50 and from 0.20 to 0.80 ms max (the largest paired increase was +1.6 ms). No cycle missed. Base answers from a cached estimate up to 100 ms old; current takes one fresh snapshot.
GC (single traced sample, observational only): receive c16 paused 18.6 ms in base and 7.3 ms in current.
¹ Not a saving. These shapes keep the same getStats and timer counts, and c1 r1 is unchanged. Most likely all the loops in a page start when their reservations are taken, which happens at the same moment in this harness, so the ticks share main-thread tasks. I am not claiming this drop.
Process CPU (renderer and network service) is in report.json, but Chromium's 10 ms ticks cannot resolve it in 2 s windows.

A publishing connection over a transport that cannot report now costs what an idle one does: absent r1 matches absent r0 (0.29 to 0.35 ms/s, no timers, no allocation), and qmux r1 matches qmux r0, whose remaining 13 KiB/s is the qmux session itself.
WebTransport with getStats is unchanged: every private, pooled, receive and linger row keeps its call count, and their paired main-thread deltas stay within ±0.6 ms/s except receive c16 (−6.6, range crossing zero), which does no sampling in either variant. Reservations holding a slice match base in every shape, and stats resume x10 stays at 0.5 ms p50 with none missing.
Nightly coverage.stats is now in the default scenarios. The existing Nightly job "Browser benchmark smoke" (just bench-browser --smoke, .github/workflows/nightly.yml) runs it and keeps the run directory as the bench-browser artifact. Timing never fails it. Crashes, lost connections, a stalled reader, missing or unexpected estimates, and a resume cycle without a slice do.
Choices made without asking
What counts as demand. Sampling is gated on a reservation whose track demand is still open, not on "a subscriber is attached". An unsubscribed reservation keeps reading the slice it would get back, as Reservation.rate documents.
No stale estimate. The estimate clears with the last reservation, so the next one reads undefined (hold your rate) for one snapshot. The measured cost is 0.5 ms p50.
Harness design.
A second Chromium with WebTransportStats runs the scenario, and absent shapes model shipping browsers.
The copy control is skipped for stats, since nothing there receives chunks in bulk.
bench/browser depends on @moq/qmux so qmux's own getStats is counted.
Pooled and linger shapes pass no WebSocket options, because any option forces a private loop.
Per-session detection. The capability is read from each session's own transport object at construction, not from WebTransport.prototype, so a supplied or polyfilled transport answers for itself. The WebSocket kind is tested where sessions detect it, not through Connection: a dial that reads as qmux marks the URL as WebSocket-preferred (websocketWon) for later tests in the file.
Sweep sizes. The full sweep is c ∈ {1, 4, 16} × r ∈ {0, 1, 4} for private loops, plus receive {1, 16}, linger {1, 16}, pooled 4 × r {0, 1}, qmux 4 × r {0, 1}, and absent {1, 16} × r {0, 1}. Smoke runs a 1 s window subset.
Decisions
Should transports that can never report an estimate skip sampling while publishing? Settled by the maintainer on 2026-11-01. The quest file is deleted by this PR, so the answer is recorded here.
✅ a. Skip sampling for a session whose transport cannot report, meaning WebTransport without getStats, transportOfwebsocket, or webrtc. It is an internal check with no API change, and the estimate stays undefined as it is today. Implemented with a test for each transport kind, and the idle cost re-measured above.
b. Leave it: the cost now applies only to connections that are publishing.
c. Move it to a follow-up quest.
Suggested follow-ups
The send-side allocator never sees an estimate in shipping Chromium or Safari. Neither exposes getStats(), so every Reservation.rate is undefined and publishers never follow a local estimate there. Consider the peer's PROBE estimate as the source (probe epic).
Shared sampling ticker. Loops ticking in phase cost about a third of the main-thread time for 4 to 16 publishing connections (footnote ¹). One page-wide sampling ticker could make that deliberate. This was observed, not implemented.

Reviewer: Codex gpt-6.1-sol, medium effort, through quest review --base origin/main.
Reviewed head 1482af38c8 (base c353394ae7): round 3 of a new session, no findings.
Round 1 on 959d6ba3dc: the receive shape's frame check summed all readers, so one healthy reader could hide stalled ones. Fixed in a4886dd3d4 with per-connection counts in setup and in the window, plus a negative test.
Round 2 on 15e2949a13 (a conflict-free merge of origin/main): no findings.
Online reviewers on 68d9dc60ba: OpenAI's P2 ("fail the benchmark when supported reservations lose their estimates") is fixed in 1dedce190e, see the reply. Pullfrog found no issues. CodeRabbit was rate-limited.
Earlier sessions, before the transport skip: round 1 on 2fdf68043b found that the sampling test used real sleeps; fixed in 6fb280dcb9 with a Manual clock. Round 2 and the transport-skip round on 68d9dc60ba had no findings.
Iteration on 2026-11-02 merged origin/main twice. Conflicts in bench/README.md, bench/browser/{build,driver}.ts and doc/lib/js/net.md were resolved by keeping both the new racing scenario and stats; pagePid now takes the browser, since stats runs in a second Chromium. The stats page is migrated to main's delay: { max } (#7597) and Origin.Following (#7476).
Checks on 1482af38c8: nix develop --command just check origin/main passed (js check and test, biome, markdown, gh, bench, quest, shell). quest check --base origin/main passed. just bench-browser --smoke --scenarios stats passed on 15e2949a13, whose stats page differs from the final head only in that type annotation. bench/browserbun test passed (17 tests).
The raw samples below are from the first measurement against origin/main; the re-measure's report.json is summarized above.

Local bandwidth sampling follows demand
perf(net): sample the send-rate estimate only while a reservation reads it
Nov 1, 2026
A reservation no longer starts the 100 ms getStats loop over the WebSocket
fallback, WebRTC, or WebTransport without getStats(). Each session records at
construction whether its transport can report an estimate; the estimate stays
undefined there, as before.

Review comments at @bench/browser/driver.ts:
- Around line 879-886: Update the `bench/README.md` description of
`allocated_kib_per_s` to say the sampling heap profiler estimates allocated
bytes from samples rather than reporting every byte exactly; preserve the
distinction that collected allocations are included.
Review comments at @bench/browser/page/stats.ts:
- Around line 227-231: Update outcome() so linger-mode connected reflects the
liveness of the underlying pooled sessions, not handles.length; use the existing
pooled-connection state signal and preserve the current status-based count for
non-linger cases. Ensure samplingFailure can reject a linger window when all
pooled sessions have closed.
Review comments at @bench/browser/sampling.ts:
- Around line 27-30: Update the receive check around `stalled` to compare each
reader’s frame delta, `after.received[index] - (before.received[index] ?? 0)`,
against the number of frames expected at 30 fps for the sampling window. Treat
any reader below that floor as failing, while preserving the existing failure
reporting for stalled readers.
Walkthrough
The change makes transport statistics sampling conditional on active reservation demand and on the connection’s ability to provide estimates. It adds browser benchmark workloads for connection, reservation, receive, pooling, handle, and qmux cases, including repeated reservation resume cycles. The benchmark records sampling calls, timers, CPU, allocations, and estimate latency. Tests cover supported and unsupported transports, sampling outcomes, receive progress, and resume failures.
Merge Risk: Low · up to a5bab
The sampling change is mergeable with bounded follow-up: benchmark checks can accept reduced workloads, and allocation results are estimates rather than exact totals. These limitations can mislead performance comparisons but do not establish a production failure.

P2 — Fail the benchmark when supported reservations lose their estimates — bench/browser/driver.ts:803–805 (also 837–850). The validation only rejects more estimates than reservations, so a regression that disables sampling entirely passes every reserved WebTransport shape with zero estimates and appears cheaper. The resume control does not catch it either: it filters the missing (NaN) samples and records first_estimate_missing without failing; summaries/comparisons are descriptive only. Require the expected estimate count for supported reserved shapes (zero for qmux/absent/unreserved), and fail resume when any cycle never gets its first slice. Add a negative validation case with all estimates missing so Nightly actually guards equivalent work.
Overall direction is sound: reuse the existing allocator lifecycle and sampling effect, with per-session capability detection rather than a new public API or ticker. No production-path bug found in the demand gate, transport detection, or teardown handling.
Verification: static inspection of implementation, surrounding signal/cancellation code, tests and browser harness. Tests and browser benchmarks were not run; performance claims were not independently reproduced.

Reviewed the complete diff for PR #7524 (17 files) at head 68d9dc60. The change is well-scoped, tested, and API-neutral.
Gate sampling on reservation demand — js/net/src/bandwidth.ts: Allocator now publishes #reserved, recomputed as "some entry's demand.closed is undefined" (the same field shareOf gates on), exposed only via the @internalreserved(). js/net/src/connection/reload.ts: the 100 ms effect returns early unless reserved(this.allocator), and still clears #estimate first, so the estimate clears with the last reservation.
Skip transports that cannot report — js/net/src/connection/stats.ts adds canEstimate/detect/estimates; lite/connection.ts and ietf/connection.ts record the capability at construction. A WebSocket fallback, WebRTC, or WebTransport without getStats() is never sampled, and the estimate stays undefined as before.
Tests — connection/bandwidth.test.ts on a manual clock (0 snapshots connected+unreserved, 3 per 350 ms reserved, 0 after release and after track close, no stale estimate on re-reserve; WebTransport-without-getStats and WebRTC cases) and connection/stats.test.ts (canEstimate/estimates per ALPN across WebTransport ±getStats, the qmux fallback, and WebRTC).
Bench and docs — new real-browser stats scenario (calls.ts, page/stats.ts, driver/build wiring, README.md, @moq/qmux dep) and a doc/lib/js/net.md behavior note; the completed quest file and its README link are removed.
I verified the touched js/net tests pass (41 tests), tsc --noEmit is clean in js/net, and biome check is clean on the changed sources. I also traced the #reserved field choice against shareOf: both key on demand.closed (the track outcome), and for the publisher-owned Demand a reservation uses, state.closed and state.outcome settle together, so the field choice is faithful. reserved, canEstimate, detect, and estimates are all @internal and not re-exported by index.ts/bandwidth_api.ts, so the public API surface is unchanged.
…their estimate
A window now requires every reservation over a WebTransport with getStats()
to hold a slice, and none over qmux or without getStats(), so a regression

The stats receive shape counted frames across all readers, so one healthy
reader could hide 15 stalled ones in the window and in setup. Count frames
per connection: setup waits for each to play, and the window fails when any
reader reads nothing.

Addressing the automated review on 68d9dc60ba (review):
P2: Fail the benchmark when supported reservations lose their estimates. Fixed in 1dedce1. The checks moved to bench/browser/sampling.ts:
A stats window now requires the exact estimate count. Every reservation over a WebTransport with getStats() must hold a slice: connections × reservations, or the one shared connection's reservations for pooled. Over qmux or without getStats(), none may hold one. A regression that stops sampling now fails instead of reading as cheaper.
stats resume fails when any cycle never gets its first slice. The first_estimate_missing metric is gone because it can only be 0 now.
sampling.test.ts adds negative cases: every estimate missing, some estimates missing, an estimate where none can exist, and a resume cycle with no slice.
The local Codex review then found that the receive shape's frame check was aggregate, so one healthy reader could hide 15 stalled ones. That is fixed in a4886dd: frames are counted per connection, setup waits for each reader, and the window fails if any reader stalls.
just bench-browser --smoke --scenarios stats passes with the stricter checks on this host. The Nightly smoke runs the same checks.
No new actionable issues found. Accounting for main's follow API change, the prior benchmark-equivalence finding is fixed, including missing-estimate and resume controls; receive progress is now checked per connection. These checks make the comparison more defensible.

Reviewed the delta from 68d9dc60 to 1482af38 (6 first-parent commits): the benchmark verification added after the first review, plus two merges of origin/main.
Benchmark verification extracted and hardened — new bench/browser/sampling.ts centralizes expectedEstimates, samplingFailure, resumeFailure, and total, with bench/browser/sampling.test.ts covering the negative cases.
Per-connection receive accounting — page/stats.ts now tracks received as number[] (one count per receive-shape connection), and samplingFailure fails when any single reader stalls instead of summing readers, which one healthy reader could have masked.
Estimate and resume gates — driver.ts fails a stats window unless after.estimated === expectedEstimates(shape) (previously only more-than-reservations failed) and fails stats resume when any cycle never gets its first slice. This closes the P2 raised online against 68d9dc60.
Merge of origin/main — absorbed the racing scenario and shared trace helpers; scenario lists, page routes, build pages, run.sh, and bench/README.md now carry both racing and stats, and pagePid takes the browser.
Docs and quest — doc/lib/js/net.md documents the sampling behavior in the existing send-estimate bullet (merged cleanly, no duplication), and the completed browser-idle-stats quest and its README link are removed.
I traced the new verification against the shapes it runs: expectedEstimates yields 0 for qmux/absent/unreserved and distinct × reservations otherwise, matching how setup places reservations (pooled collapses to one connection), and every Outcome.received consumer now goes through total(...), so the type change is fully propagated. The docs, run.sh, and quest README match the branch state; no dangling references to the deleted quest remain.

Reviewed the delta from 1482af38 to ea3a94a7 (the quest land: merge tested base commit). The branch's js/net feature code is unchanged; the only conflict resolutions are docs.
Merged origin/main at 7ed14bb — js/net/src/{bandwidth.ts,connection/reload.ts,connection/stats.ts,lite/connection.ts,ietf/connection.ts} are byte-identical to the prior reviewed head, so main's #6949 subscription-range rewrite merged without touching the feature code.
Conflict resolutions keep both sides — bench/README.md keeps main's sock-drops/gen-drops text alongside the new stats scenario; doc/lib/js/net.md keeps main's ranges bullet alongside the send-estimate note; the survey README is main's list minus the deleted browser-idle-stats link.
Quest deletion intact — browser-idle-stats.md stays deleted and no reference to it remains.
The Allocator demand interface the gate relies on (demand.closed, demand.wanted, hooks.demandReleased/demandPriority) survives main's track.ts rewrite. I ran the touched js/net tests (bandwidth, connection/bandwidth, connection/stats: 42 pass) and tsc --noEmit is clean.

Reviewed the delta from ea3a94a7 to a5bab46c: a single quest land: merge tested base commit that merges origin/main at 38ae05b into the branch.
Merged origin/main at 38ae05b — the branch's feature code is untouched: js/net/src/{bandwidth.ts,connection/reload.ts,connection/stats.ts,lite/connection.ts,ietf/connection.ts} and their tests are byte-identical to the prior reviewed head, so main's #7490 (moq-quic waits), #7523 (hang buffered-group skip) and #7501 (em-dash gate) merged around them.
Conflict resolution keeps both sides — the only file differing from both parents is quest/m2/performance-survey/README.md: main dropped the landed hang-buffered link while the branch dropped browser-idle-stats, and the result drops both. bench/README.md keeps main's buffered fixture docs alongside the stats scenario docs, and bench/browser/run.sh keeps stats in the header comment while taking main's buffered micro loop.
Bench wiring intact — bench/browser/micro.ts is main's version (it now knows buffered); the stats scenario still runs through driver.ts, not the micro loop. git diff 38ae05b a5bab46c is exactly this PR's 20 files, and no changed file contains an em dash under main's new gate.
samplingFailure checks only the final estimate count against expectedEstimates. It takes no call count. If a sampler stalls with a pending getStats call, the estimate keeps its last value and no new calls occur. The helper then accepts the window. The driver records getstats_per_s but never fails on a zero value.
Pass the getstats delta to samplingFailure. Fail when the delta is zero and expectedEstimates(shape) is greater than zero. Add a test for that case.

Assert that pooled handles share one allocator before reserving.
Assert that pooled handles share one allocator before reserving.
The pooled control reserves only through handles[0]. It never reads the allocator of any other handle. If pooling regresses to separate connections, every handle still connects over WebTransport. The reservation and estimate checks still pass on handles[0], so the control can pass while it measures several sessions. Compare the allocators of all handles in pooled mode, and fail setup when they differ.
This check guards the control's topology. It does not fix a current failure.

In the pooled-mode setup in the code around allocator and distinct, check the
allocator identity for every handle before reserving; fail setup if they do not
all share one allocator. Keep the existing single-handle reservation path
unchanged when the check passes, and leave non-pooled behavior unchanged.
Correct the "every byte" claim for the sampled allocation metric.
The counted pass starts HeapProfiler.startSampling with samplingInterval: 256, so allocated_kib_per_s comes from sampled, scaled estimates. bench/README.md:462-463 says the profiler reports every byte the window allocated, which presents the value as exact. Small or sparse allocations carry sampling error. Describe the value as an estimate.

Update the `bench/README.md` description of `allocated_kib_per_s` to say the
sampling heap profiler estimates allocated bytes from samples rather than

Make the linger outcome observe the pooled connection's liveness.
For linger shapes, outcome().connected returns handles.length. Every handle was closed before the window starts, so this value always equals the configured connection count. samplingFailure then accepts a linger window whose pooled sessions have already closed.

Require a frame-rate floor for each receive reader.
The receive check passes any reader whose count rises at all. A reader that drops to one frame per window passes, so a degraded run can report lower per-second cost as cheaper. Compare each reader's frame delta with the frames expected at the 30 fps playback rate.

quest/m2/performance-survey/browser-idle-stats.md: a browser connection now samplesgetStats()for its send-rate estimate only while a bandwidth reservation reads it. Receive-only, idle and lingering pooled connections do no local stats work, and a session whose transport can never report an estimate (the WebSocket fallback, WebRTC, or WebTransport withoutgetStats()) is never sampled. A new real-browserstatsbenchmark scenario measured it, base first.Changes
js/net/src/bandwidth.ts:Allocatortracks whether it holds a reservation that can read a slice. This is the same testshareOfuses: the track's demand is not closed. The flag is exposed through an@internalreserved(allocator)getter thatbandwidth_api.tsdoes not re-export, so the API report is unchanged.js/net/src/connection/reload.ts: the 100 ms sampling effect also depends onreserved(this.allocator). Without a reservation it does not run and the estimate isundefined. Cadence while reserved is unchanged.js/net/src/connection/bandwidth.test.ts: a manual-clock test. It checks for no snapshots while connected and unreserved, exactly 3 per 350 ms while reserved, none after release or after the track closes, and that the next reservation never reads a stale estimate. With the gate removed it fails (Expected 0, Received 3).js/net/src/connection/stats.ts:canEstimate(quic)is true only for a WebTransport session (bytransportOf) that has agetStatsfunction. Each Lite and IETF session records it at construction withdetect(this, quic), andestimates(session)reads it from aWeakSet, the same pattern asheldOf. All three are@internalandstats.tsis not re-exported, so the API report is unchanged.js/net/src/connection/reload.ts: the sampling effect also requiresestimates(connection), so a reservation over a transport that cannot report starts no timer. The estimate staysundefinedthere, as before.stats.test.tscheckscanEstimateand the recordedestimatesfor WebTransport with and withoutgetStats, the WebSocket fallback (a mock chained onto qmux'sSession.prototype) and WebRTC, on both moq-lite-06 and moq-transport-18.bandwidth.test.tsruns a reservation throughConnectionover WebTransport withoutgetStatsand over WebRTC on a manual clock: nostats()call in 350 ms and the slice staysundefined.

A window fails unless every reservation over a WebTransport withgetStats()holds a slice, and none does over qmux or withoutgetStats(). It also fails when a receive-shape reader reads nothing, counted per connection, or when astats resumecycle never gets its first slice. Before this, only more estimates than reservations failed, so a regression that stopped sampling would have passed and read as cheaper. That was the automated review's P2 on68d9dc60ba.Measurements
