Attendees: bz@, rscheff@, tuexen@

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
  • 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@ approved it.
  • D26446: Fix sending of segments. tuexen@ approved.
  • D26714: DSCP for iSCSI initiator. @rscheff still working on it.
  • D26409: Setting VLAN priority per socket. rrs@ needs to review.
  • bz@ is asking current status of MPTCP. tuexen@ will contact grenville.

Next meeting: 22 October @ 1400 UTC
