I guess some long term statistics (currently TCP_INFO only dumps current state) would be useful too, but it's David's call if he want to put in the few cycles that'll cost (probably only in slow paths anyways) I guess it would be better if you would put it into the existing TCP_INFO framework, perhaps with an additional /proc frontend to TCP_INFO. Having two ways to do a similar thing is not good. -Andi - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
