Subject: [RFC PATCHv2 net-next 1/2] tcp: RTO Restart (RTOR)
This patch implements the RTO restart modification (RTOR). When data is
ACKed, and the RTO timer is restarted, the time elapsed since the last
outstanding segment was transmitted is subtracted from the calculated RTO
value. This way, the RTO timer will expire after exactly RTO seconds, and
not RTO + RTT [+ delACK] seconds.
This patch also implements a new sysctl (tcp_timer_restart) that is used
to control the timer restart behavior.
Signed-off-by: Per Hurtig <per.hurtig@....se>
