Hello all,
I've updated/cleaned up the TCP Eifel code that I've had sitting arou=
nd,
and was wondering if I could get some feedback and more testing before I co=
mmit.
What it is/what it does:
* Eifel detection/response algorithms. (RFC3522/RFC4015)
* Used the TCP timestamp option to detect reordering.
* Restores congestion state in case of reordering induced window shrink.
Who will benefit:
* GPRS users, or others on quirky networks (Modem mayby).
(http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/gurtov/papers/ew02.html cites 12% performance
benefit, though that's in simulation.)
How to use it:
* Apply the patch, recompile, reboot.
* The net.inet.tcp.do_eifel sysctl will control it.
