From d551e4541dd60ae53459f77a971f2d6043431f5f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ilpo Järvinen Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2007 00:42:20 -0700 Subject: [TCP] FRTO: RFC4138 allows Nagle override when new data must be sent MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This is a corner case where less than MSS sized new data thingie is awaiting in the send queue. For F-RTO to work correctly, a new data segment must be sent at certain point or F-RTO cannot be used at all. RFC4138 allows overriding of Nagle at that point. Implementation uses frto_counter states 2 and 3 to distinguish when Nagle override is needed. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen Signed-off-by: David S.
