From a0496ef2c23b3b180902dd185d0d63ccbc624cf8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yuchung Cheng Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2018 13:56:36 -0700 Subject: tcp: do not delay ACK in DCTCP upon CE status change Per DCTCP RFC8257 (Section 3.2) the ACK reflecting the CE status change has to be sent immediately so the sender can respond quickly: """ When receiving packets, the CE codepoint MUST be processed as follows: 1. If the CE codepoint is set and DCTCP.CE is false, set DCTCP.CE to true and send an immediate ACK. 2. If the CE codepoint is not set and DCTCP.CE is true, set DCTCP.CE to false and send an immediate ACK. """ Previously DCTCP implementation may continue to delay the ACK. This patch fixes that to implement the RFC by forcing an immediate ACK.
