I am not a maintainer and I am not that familiar with TCP, but if you want my opinion: Dealing with reordering inside congestion control sounds rather weird. If reordering causes TCP to believe packets are lost, there will probably be other issues as well, like sending of useless retransmits. I would rather try to detect this kind of reordering and ignore dupacks and rely only on timeouts to detect loss. Also, the recipient may send an ack for each incoming data packet instead of delaying+combine acks. -Michi -- programing a layer 3+4 network protocol for mesh networks see http://michaelblizek.twilightparadox.com _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
