And you can find the code i'm working on at:
ftp://ftp.di.fc.ul.pt/pub/systems/Linux/local/tcp-patch-200396-1.3.76.gz
changes up to now:
- sending code
- retransmit queue handled by tcp (packets are cloned to the ip layer)
- one sending/transmit queue
- nagling changed
- experimental Vegas congestion control algorithm
- if mss lowers segents will be split in two
- receive code
- two receive queues (in order, out-of-order)
- delayed acks should work ;-)
-retransmiting
- retransmit timer should be setted correctly now
- fast retransmit
- retransmit can colapse packets
- separate timers for DelayedAcks, retransmits, probes and keepalives
Help/Comments/Testing/etc apreciated...
