X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c7d9d6a185a7ea383b719b79c428d34ec1470275;p=linux-beck.git

tcp: undo on DSACK during recovery

If the receiver supports DSACK, sender can detect false recoveries and
revert cwnd reductions triggered by either severe network reordering or
concurrent reordering and loss event.
