other end till it reaches predetermined threshold which is 3 for us right now. Once that happens, we trigger fast-retransmit to do loss recovery. Main problem with the current implementation is that we don't honor SACK information well to detect whether an incoming ack is a dupack or not. RFC6675 has latest recommendations for that. According to it, dupack is a segment that arrives carrying a SACK block that identifies previously unknown information between snd_una and snd_max even if it carries new data, changes the advertised window, or moves the cumulative acknowledgment point. With the prevalence of Selective ACK (SACK) these days, improper handling can lead to delayed loss recovery. With the fix, new behavior looks like following: 0) th_ack < snd_una --> ignore Old acks are ignored. 1) th_ack == snd_una, !sack_changed --> ignore Acks with SACK enabled but without any new SACK info in them are ignored. 2) th_ack == snd_una, window == old_window --> increment Increment on a good dupack. 3) th_ack == snd_una, window != old_window, sack_changed --> increment When SACK enabled, it's okay to have advertized window changed if the ack has new SACK info. 4) th_ack > snd_una --> reset to 0 Reset to 0 when left edge moves. 5) th_ack > snd_una, sack_changed --> increment Increment if left edge moves but there is new SACK info. Here, sack_changed is the indicator that incoming ack has previously unknown SACK info in it. Note: This fix is not fully compliant to RFC6675. That may require a few changes to current implementation in order to keep per-sackhole dupack counter and change to the way we mark/handle sack holes.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7) and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process. See build(7), config(8), and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds.
