syndrome avoidance. The combination of SWS avoidance and ack-every-other
causes low throughput if the block size divided by the MSS is odd (which
is true with the default block size and MSS).
Turning on TCP_NODELAY disables the Nagle algorithm and sender SWS avoidance.
The rdump request/response protocol can not invoke Nagle and cannot cause
SWS, so this has no negative effects.
options one would normally expect to set the realm, enable encryption,
and whatnot, but this actually is able to contact the remote server,
so at least it's a start. (As a bonus, the stripped static binary is
unquestionably exportable.)
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
setsockopt()'s on a -1 file descriptor.
Remove attempt to decrease TCP MSS; it makes no sense.
Set the IP TOS to IPTOS_THROUGHPUT as an indication that this is an
application sending large blocks of data, as recommended by RFC1700.
for gcc >= 2.5 and no-ops for gcc >= 2.6. Converted to use __dead2
or __pure2 where it wasn't already done, except in math.h where use
of __pure was mostly wrong.
changes and one addition by me.
. Use reasonable defaults for the tape drive (/dev/rst0) instead of
something we actually don't have.
. Add a summary line displaying the alapsed time and the total throughput.
. Replace "rmt" for the remote location of rmt(8) by "/etc/rmt", since this
is the historical protocol, and relying on the $PATH causes a big pain.
Make it adjustable via an environmental variable though.

claims multiple times to have failed. The problem is a off_t is
converted into a int and checked for a negative. A true lseek check
should be checking if the off_t is equal to -1 for failure.

an array. The bug became obvious in the old system where the array was only
32 characters long (now MAXPATHLEN). Dump honored its name then (:-)
and dumped its core when calling dump -w for a fstab that contained rather long
NFS file system names. Even though this is rather unlikely to happen now,
a bug is a bug:)
