Hi Vincent,

Note that MSG_FASTOPEN flag should be used only once. Subsequent
sendto(MSG_FASTOPEN) == connect() on connected sockets. You can verify
if the fast open is successful by checking a bit in TCP_INFO.
http://patchwork.o zlabs.org/patch/192883/ if you are running a fresh
netdev build.

I'll submit a patch to update the man page on MSG_FASTOPEN too.

Yuchung
