Discussion

• tuexen discussed how to mitigate blackhole detection problems
  • tuexen@ has a review to ensure we don't do blackhole detection once we are at the minimum value D24308; committed
  • Discussion on what should trigger blackhole detection – full size? Or, even smaller messages which are above our min MTU? For at least IPv6, min MTU makes sense.
  • Otherwise, tuexen@'s plan remains unchanged.
  • BBR and RACK needs some modifcation
• Discussion of D24237: rscheff@ changed both the in-order and out-of-order data path so we call sorwakeup_locked() [when necessary] after the SACK blocks are updated. Still ongoing. rrs@ reviewed. Discussion continues.
• Can the TCP_STATS framework be turned on and sample no connections? Yes. thj@ will do.
• D18892: PRR, rrs@ will review.
• D18985: Upcoming: Rescue retransmission
• D21117: Upcoming: Reduce counter space
• D22438: Performance improvement for after idle. Approved.
• D6611, D6612, D6656: Get gallatin@ involved. What needs to be done to also support IPv6? Can't we use some unused MPROTO flag?
• D8253: rscheff@ will look into it.
• D10894: possibly use hystart++ instead. rrs@ will look into this later this year.
• D26518: Bundle stack and CC data separately. tuexen@ will review.
• D26478: Fix sending of segments.
• D26446: Fix sending of segments. tuexen@ will review.
• D26385: DSCP for iSCSI.
• D26409: Setting VLAN priority per socket.
