From 737ff314563ca27f044f9a3a041e9d42491ef7ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yuchung Cheng Date: Wed, 8 Nov 2017 13:01:27 -0800 Subject: tcp: use sequence distance to detect reordering Replace the reordering distance measurement in packet unit with sequence based approach. Previously it trackes the number of "packets" toward the forward ACK (i.e. highest sacked sequence)in a state variable "fackets_out". Precisely measuring reordering degree on packet distance has not much benefit, as the degree constantly changes by factors like path, load, and congestion window. It is also complicated and prone to arcane bugs. This patch replaces with sequence-based approach that's much simpler.
