Hello,Please let me insist once again on the importance of adding a TCP Pacing mechanism in our TCP, as many people are including this algorithm in their congestion control proposals. Recent researches have found out that it really can help improving performance in different scenarios, like satellites and long-delay high-speed channels (>100ms RTT, Gbit). Hybla module itself is cripple without this feature in its natural scenario. The following patch is totally non-invasive: it has a config option and a sysctl switch, both turned off by default. When the config option is enabled, it adds only 6B to the tcp_sock.Signed-off by: Daniele Lacamera <[e-mail]>--- diff -ruN linux-2.6.18-rc6/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txtlinux-pacing/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt--- linux-2.6.18-rc6/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt2006-09-04 04:19:48.000000000 +0200+++ linux-pacing/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt2006-09-12 16:38:14.000000000 +0200@@ -369,6 +369,12 @@ be timed out after an idle period.
