Hello Eric,

> Hmm.. I was not aware of high RTT for some packets.
> Can you spot this on the pcap you provided ?

with the latest patch as in:

(node-62) [~/work/linux-2.6] git diff | pbot
http://pbot.rmdir.de/CQwqI6b7wJProw_xaukmEg

with net.ipv4.tcp_min_tso_segs=2 we had this pcap:
https://thomas.glanzmann.de/tmp/tcp_auto_corking_on_patched_tcp_more_notlast.pcap.bz2
And here is the RTT TCP graph:
Wireshark > Statistics > TCP Stream Graph > Round Trip Time Graph
https://thomas.glanzmann.de/tmp/screenshot-mini-2014-02-10-22_04_30.png

with net.ipv4.tcp_min_tso_segs=8 we have this pcap:
https://thomas.glanzmann.de/tmp/tcp_auto_corking_on_patched_tcp_more_notlast_min_tso_segs_8.pcap.bz2
And here is the RTT TCP graph:
Wireshark > Statistics > TCP Stream Graph > Round Trip Time Graph

This gives us 0.0015 seconds RTT (1.5 ms)

Without TCP autocorking we had 0.0005 (0.5 ms).
