-How the new TCP output machine [nyi] works.
-
-
-Data is kept on a single queue. The skb->users flag tells us if the frame is
-one that has been queued already. To add a frame we throw it on the end. Ack
-walks down the list from the start.
-
-We keep a set of control flags
-
-
- sk->tcp_pend_event
-
- TCP_PEND_ACK Ack needed
- TCP_ACK_NOW Needed now
- TCP_WINDOW Window update check
- TCP_WINZERO Zero probing
-
-
- sk->transmit_queue The transmission frame begin
- sk->transmit_new First new frame pointer
- sk->transmit_end Where to add frames
-
- sk->tcp_last_tx_ack Last ack seen
- sk->tcp_dup_ack Dup ack count for fast retransmit
-
-
-Frames are queued for output by tcp_write. We do our best to send the frames
-off immediately if possible, but otherwise queue and compute the body
-checksum in the copy.
-
-When a write is done we try to clear any pending events and piggy back them.
-If the window is full we queue full sized frames. On the firs timeout in
-zero window we split this.
-
-On a timer we walk the retransmit list to send any retransmits, update the
-backoff timers etc. A change of route table stamp causes a change of header
-and recompute. We add any new tcp level headers and refinish the checksum
-before sending.
