Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6 6/8] sctp: teach CACC algorithm about removed
 transports

From: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@...com>

When we have have to remove a transport due to ASCONF, we move
the data to a new active path.  This can trigger CACC algorithm
to not mark that data as missing when SACKs arrive.  This is
because the transport passed to the CACC algorithm is the one
this data is sitting on, not the one it was sent on (that one
may be gone).  So, by sending the original transport (even if
it's NULL), we may start marking data as missing.
