to the maximum allowed window. Growing the window too large would cause
an underflow in the calculations in tcp_output() to decide if a window
update should be sent which would prevent the persist timer from being
started if data was pending and the other end of the connection advertised
an initial window size of 0.

In some cases as udp6_connect() without an earlier bind(2) to an
address, v4-mapped scokets allowed and a non mapped destination
address, we can end up here with both v4 and v6 indicated:
inp_vflag = (INP_IPV4|INP_IPV6|INP_IPV6PROTO)
In that case however laddrp is NULL as the IPv6 path does not
pass in a copy currently.

1) Add four new points that allow you to get more information
to cc algo's
2) Fix the case where user changes module on a existing TCB, in
such a case, the initialization module needs to be called on all nets.
3) Move htcp_cc structure to a union that other modules can use.
4) Add 5th point for get/set socket options for cc_module specific options

VNET socket push back:
try to minimize the number of places where we have to switch vnets
and narrow down the time we stay switched. Add assertions to the
socket code to catch possibly unset vnets as seen in r204147.
While this reduces the number of vnet recursion in some places like
NFS, POSIX local sockets and some netgraph, .. recursions are
impossible to fix.
The current expectations are documented at the beginning of
uipc_socket.c along with the other information there.

In the dec.2009 rewrite I introduced a bug, using for the
computation the arrival time instead of the time the packet
has exited from the queue.
The bandwidth computation was still correct because it is
computed elsewhere, but traffic was sent out in bursts.
The bug is also present in RELENG_8 after dec.2009
Thanks to Daikichi Osuga for investingating, finding and fixing the
bug with detailed graphs of the behaviour before and after the fix.

2) Will zero with the netstat -z -s -p sctp
3) Will be properly handled by both the sctp_init and finish

the wrong size.. the bzero is now moved to the right places).
And of course the free is put in at the very end.

what a modern card can do with queue's for TCP... but

2) Add separate max-bursts for retransmit and hb. These
are set to sysctlable values but not settable via the
socket api. This makes sure we don't blast out HB's or
fast-retransmits.
3) Determine on the first data transmission on a net if
its local-lan (by being under or over a RTT). This
can later be used to think about different algorithms
based on locallan vs big-i (experimental)
4) The cwnd should NOT be allowed to grow when an ECNEcho
is seen (TCP has this same bug). We fix this in SCTP
so an ECNe being seen prevents an advance of cwnd.
5) CWR's should not be sent multiple times to the
same network, instead just updating the TSN being

top 8 bits of the 32 bit signal bit field space for internal use. These private
signals should not be leaked outside of a module.
Given that many algorithm modules use the NewReno hook functions to simplify
their implementation, the obvious place such a leak would show up is in the
NewReno cong_signal hook function.
- Show the full number of significant bits in the signal type definitions in
<netinet/cc.h>.
- Add a bitmask to simplify figuring out if a given signal is in the private or
public bit range.
- Add a sanity check in newreno_cong_signal() to ensure private signals are not
being leaked into the hook function.

algorithm described in the paper "Improved coexistence and loss tolerance for
delay based TCP congestion control" by Hayes and Armitage. It is implemented as
a kernel module compatible with the recently committed modular congestion
control framework.
CHD enhances the approach taken by the Hamilton-Delay (HD) algorithm to provide
tolerance to non-congestion related packet loss and improvements to coexistence
with loss-based congestion control algorithms. A key idea in improving
coexistence with loss-based congestion control algorithms is the use of a shadow
window, which attempts to track how NewReno's congestion window (cwnd) would
evolve. At the next packet loss congestion event, CHD uses the shadow window to
correct cwnd in a way that reduces the amount of unfairness CHD experiences when
competing with loss-based algorithms.

algorithm based on the paper "A strategy for fair coexistence of loss and
delay-based congestion control algorithms" by Budzisz, Stanojevic, Shorten and
Baker. It is implemented as a kernel module compatible with the recently
committed modular congestion control framework.
HD uses a probabilistic approach to reacting to delay-based congestion. The
probability of reducing cwnd is zero when the queuing delay is very small,
increasing to a maximum at a set threshold, then back down to zero again when
the queuing delay is high. Normal operation keeps the queuing delay below the
set threshold. However, since loss-based congestion control algorithms push the
queuing delay high when probing for bandwidth, having the probability of
reducing cwnd drop back to zero for high delays allows HD to compete with
loss-based algorithms.
