Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Make tcp-metrics source-address aware
Currently tcp-metrics only stores per-destination addresses. This brings
problems, when a host has multiple interfaces (e.g., a smartphone having
WiFi/3G):
For example, a host contacting a server over WiFi will store the tcp-metrics
per destination IP. If then the host contacts the same server over 3G, the
same tcp-metrics will be used, although the path-characteristics are completly
different (e.g., the ssthresh is probably not the same).
The same holds for the fast-open cookie. The server will generate a cookie
based on our source-address. So, if we contact the same server with another
source-IP we should request a new cookie.
This patchset makes tcp-metrics source-address aware (Patch 1 and 2).
Patches 3 and 4 handle the interface to "ip tcp_metrics". When deleting a
metric based on the destination-IP, all entries will be removed (Patch 3).
Further, a new attribute is added, so that the source-IP can be exposed to
"ip tcp_metrics" (Patch 4).
Note:
"ip tcp_metrics show ADDRESS" will only display the first element among
the entries for the specified destination-IP. It probably would be better to
show all entries for the specified IP. However, I do not see how to achieve
this without fundamentally changing the netlink-API for the tcp-metrics.
Suggestions are very welcome.
Christoph Paasch (4):
tcp: metrics: rename tcpm_addr to tcpm_daddr
tcp: metrics: Add source-address to tcp-metrics
tcp: metrics: Delete all entries matching a certain destination
tcp: metrics: Dump info of the source-address in netlink-reply
