Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2012 11:56:19 -0500 From: Josh Hunt <joshhunt00@...il.com> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: long-lived tcp connection question Given things like web sockets with presumably long-lived persistent tcp connections and a sparse amount of data, I was wondering if there are currently any mechanisms in the kernel or out of tree projects which work on reducing the overhead these connections require? Possibly storing their state after a certain period of inactivity and then reviving them when work needs to be done? I'm thinking something along the lines of the state info stored for time-wait sockets and then the ability to resurrect it on an incoming packet. Keeping resources around for such connections seems inefficient although possibly unavoidable.
