If a SACK block acrosses multiple skb, the TCP stack will try +to re-arrange data in these skb. E.g. if a SACK block acknowledges seq +10 to 15, skb1 has seq 10 to 13, skb2 has seq 14 to 20. The seq 14 and +15 in skb2 would be moved to skb1. This operation is 'shift'. If a +SACK block acknowledges seq 10 to 20, skb1 has seq 10 to 13, skb2 has +seq 14 to 20. All data in skb2 will be moved to skb1, and skb2 will be +discard, this operation is 'merge'. + +* TcpExtTCPSackShifted +A skb is shifted + +* TcpExtTCPSackMerged +A skb is merged + +* TcpExtTCPSackShiftFallback +A skb should be shifted or merged, but the TCP stack doesn't do it for +some reasons. + TCP out of order =============== * TcpExtTCPOFOQueue @@ -662,6 +728,60 @@ unacknowledged number (more strict than `RFC 5961 section 5.2`_). .. _RFC 5961 section 4.2: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5961#page-9 .. _RFC 5961 section 5.2: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5961#page-11 +TCP receive window +================= +* TcpExtTCPWantZeroWindowAdv +Depending on current memory usage, the TCP stack tries to set receive +window to zero.
