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

 



  

hello,
  i want to know how mss_value is calculated in tcp_sync_mss function located in tcp_output.c?

1) MSS is payload for packet then why other header (IP,ETH) are not considered in calcualtion os mss_now value? cause mss is value that not include all headers in it.

2)what is mss_clamp?

3) what is sending minimum and MAX value for tcp MSS?

4) what is U in 68U? is that for unsigned? how kernel interpret then it?

5)what is SACKS ?is that mean SYN+ACK?

please apologize me if i am wrong in above understandings.

regards,
parag.
