From 05c5a46d71f621df620fbabbd7758ee1b44575ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Neal Cardwell Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2015 21:54:37 -0700 Subject: tcp: generate CA_EVENT_TX_START on data frames Issuing a CC TX_START event on control frames like pure ACK is a waste of time, as a CC should not care. Following patch needs this change, as we want CUBIC to properly track idle time at a low cost, with a single TX_START being generated. Yuchung might slightly refine the condition triggering TX_START on a followup patch.
