From 90f2f5318b3a5b0898fef0fec9b91376c7de7a2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vlad Yasevich Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:53:57 -0500 Subject: sctp: Update SWS avaoidance receiver side algorithm We currently send window update SACKs every time we free up 1 PMTU worth of data. That a lot more SACKs then necessary. Instead, we'll now send back the actuall window every time we send a sack, and do window-update SACKs when a fraction of the receive buffer has been opened. The fraction is controlled with a sysctl.
