Subject: "Greased TCPenguin"


Linus has a pre91 patch up on linux.kernel.org in the testing
directory.  I highly suggest people check it out, all my latest TCP
stuff is in there, and specifically:

1) The TCP output engine rewrite is in there.  It's much cleaner
   and saner now, it's so nice that I'm going to spend the rest of
   today patting myself on the back about it. ;-)
   One nice thing about it is that you can up and down interfaces
   in the middle of TCP transfers all you like, and they'll continue
   just fine once a route re-appears to the remote host.
   Actually, the basic ideas for this new scheme are from ANK,
   I am just the implementer ;-)

2) TCP SACK (RFC2018) is now supported.  Some changes remain yet
   so that we recover from loss using SACK as effectively as
   possible.  This is pretty much what I'm working on right now.

3) Skbuff performance improvements from Andi Klein.

4) All the bug fixes I've accumulated since 2.1.90 got released.

Please keep the bug reports rolling in, and as I keep saying, include
tcpdump traces of bogus behavior when appropriate (if in doubt, send
it). ;-)

Later,
