While virtualising the log_in_vain sysctls seems pointles at first for as
long as the kernel message buffer is not virtualised, it at least allows
an administrator to debug the base system or an individual jail if needed
without turning the logging on for all jails running on a system.

Rack includes the following features:
- A different SACK processing scheme (the old sack structures are not used).
- RACK (Recent acknowledgment) where counting dup-acks is no longer done
instead time is used to knwo when to retransmit. (see the I-D)
- TLP (Tail Loss Probe) where we will probe for tail-losses to attempt
to try not to take a retransmit time-out. (see the I-D)
- Burst mitigation using TCPHTPS
- PRR (partial rate reduction) see the RFC.
Once built into your kernel, you can select this stack by either
socket option with the name of the stack is "rack" or by setting
the global sysctl so the default is rack.
Note that any connection that does not support SACK will be kicked
back to the "default" base FreeBSD stack (currently known as "default").
To build this into your kernel you will need to enable in your
kernel:

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
This is a painful change, but it is needed. On the one hand, we avoid
modifying them, and this slows down some ideas, on the other hand we still
eventually modify them and tools like netstat(1) never work on next version of
FreeBSD. We maintain a ton of spares in them, and we already got some ifdef
hell at the end of tcpcb.
Details:
- Hide struct inpcb, struct tcpcb under _KERNEL || _WANT_FOO.
- Make struct xinpcb, struct xtcpcb pure API structures, not including
kernel structures inpcb and tcpcb inside. Export into these structures
the fields from inpcb and tcpcb that are known to be used, and put there
a ton of spare space.
- Make kernel and userland utilities compilable after these changes.
- Bump __FreeBSD_version.

If the TCP stack has retransmitted more than 1/4 of the total
number of retransmits before a connection drop, it decides that
its current RTT estimate is hopelessly out of date and decides
to recalculate it from scratch starting with the next ACK.
Unfortunately, it implements this by zeroing out the current RTT
estimate. Drop this hack entirely, as it makes it significantly more
difficult to debug connection issues. Instead check for excessive
retransmits at the point where srtt is updated from an ACK being
received. If we've exceeded 1/4 of the maximum retransmits,
discard the previous srtt estimate and replace it with the latest
rtt measurement.

- Reorganize the tcpcb structure so that it has a single

the single tcp timer change is reintegrated, tcpcb will

TCP timers as a single timer, but retain the API changes necessary to
reintroduce this change. This will back out the source of at least two
reported problems: lock leaks in certain timer edge cases, and TCP timers
continuing to fire after a connection has closed (a bug previously fixed and
then reintroduced with the timer rewrite).
In a follow-up commit, some minor restylings and comment changes performed
after the TCP timer rewrite will be reapplied, and a further change to allow
the TCP timer rewrite to be added back without disturbing the ABI. The new
design is believed to be a good thing, but the outstanding issues are
leading to significant stability/correctness problems that are holding
up 7.0.

be in ticks "for algorithm stability" when originally committed, it turns
out that it has a significant impact in timing out connections. When we
changed HZ from 100 to 1000, this had a big effect on reducing the time
before dropping connections.
To demonstrate, boot with kern.hz=100. ssh to a box on local ethernet
and establish a reliable round-trip-time (ie: type a few commands).
Then unplug the ethernet and press a key. Time how long it takes to
drop the connection.
The old behavior (with hz=100) caused the connection to typically drop
between 90 and 110 seconds of getting no response.
Now boot with kern.hz=1000 (default). The same test causes the ssh session
to drop after just 9-10 seconds. This is a big deal on a wifi connection.
With kern.hz=1000, change sysctl net.inet.tcp.rexmit_min from 3 to 30.
Note how it behaves the same as when HZ was 100. Also, note that when
booting with hz=100, net.inet.tcp.rexmit_min *used* to be 30.
This commit changes TCPTV_MIN to be scaled with hz. rexmit_min should
always be about 30. If you set hz to Really Slow(TM), there is a safety
feature to prevent a value of 0 being used.
This may be revised in the future, but for the time being, it restores the
old, pre-hz=1000 behavior, which is significantly less annoying.
As a workaround, to avoid rebooting or rebuilding a kernel, you can run
"sysctl net.inet.tcp.rexmit_min=30" and add "net.inet.tcp.rexmit_min=30"
to /etc/sysctl.conf. This is safe to run from 6.0 onwards.

Please note that the 200ms slop is debateable.
