Manipulating TCP code

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,
I plan to change tcp code in the kernel(2.6.13.2) to
include a custom algorithm for congestion control. My
work is an extension to the Reno algorithm. So, I dont
want to use any of the sack, fack, or dsacks.
1. Will disabling the parameters in /proc/sys/net/ipv4
directory would suffice? 

2. In addition, I have disabled the sack( and other)
options during the initialization in the file
"tcp_input.c". I ran ssh between two machines and
found during connection set up that these options are
disabled. Do I have to take any other actions? 

3. Also,  in the same file, I found the comment
"emulate sack for sackless connection" at the function
tcp_add_reno_sack(). Does that mean that even after
disabling sack,  the estimate about sacked packets
would be made? 
Thanks in advance.
regards,
dileep
