Together with the earlier client side patches it completes the TCP Fast Open implementation. The server side Fast Open code accepts data carried in the SYN packet with a valid Fast Open cookie, and passes it to the application right away, allowing application to send back response data, all before TCP's 3-way handshake finishes. A simple cookie scheme together with capping the number of outstanding TFO requests (still in TCP_SYN_RECV state) to a limit per listener forms the main line of defense against spoofed SYN attacks. For more details about TCP Fast Open see our IETF internet draft at http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-tcpm-fastopen-01.txt and a research paper at http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2011/papers/1569470463.pdf A prototype implementation was first developed by Sivasankar Radhakrishnan (sivasankar@cs.ucsd.edu). A patch based on an older version of Linux kernel has been undergoing internal tests at Google for the past few months.
