Summary

All missing pieces to claim full RFC6675 support are in place,
but disabled by default. These algorithms are all fenced
behind the preexisting sysctl "rfc6675_pipe" (disabled by default).

It was noted earlier, that referencing RFCs directly in sysctls is
not the optimal choice.

To better reflect these mechanisms belonging with SACK loss
recovery, shuffling the sysctl into the net.inet.tcp.sack branch,
and rename it to "revised".

Further, to get some additional testing coverage, enabling by default
in HEAD, by mid-march.

Unless this change (or the change of defaults) has to be backed out,
planning for an MFC to stable/13 mid-april.

Event Timeline

Any chance to have a more specific name than newsack?

Certainly, I'm definitely open to suggestions. functional descriptions would be a mouthful, as 6675 has pipe, faster_lossrecovery, and rescue_rexmit.

rfc6675 was adopted in 2012... "sack2012"? Only "improved"? retain "rfc6675"? "lessrto"?

  • change pretty name of sysctl to 'revised'
  • rebase to include PRR pipe calculation
