To: Vijay Subramanian <subramanian.vijay@gmail.com> Cc: netdev <netdev@vger.kernel.org>, kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org Message-ID: <4FE2F4C0.4020900@gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed ? 2012/6/21 16:42, Vijay Subramanian ??:
With SACK, number of dupacks does not have much meaning. What matters is --how the SACK scoreboard looks like i.e. which packets are tagged Lost/Sacked/Retransmitted -- Whether FACK is in use (this assumes holes in between sacked packets are lost and have left the network and so we can send out more packets)
So, stack does not count the number of dupacks that have come in. Only SACK blocks matter. You can try to track the following path: tcp_ack() deals with incoming acks and if it sees a dupack (does not matter what number), or incoming packet contains SACK it calls tcp_fastretrans_alert() which calls tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue().
tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue() decides which packets to retransmit. The first packet to start retransmitting from is tracked in tp->retransmit_skb_hint. Note that the dupThresh is actually tracked by tp->reordering which measures the reordering in the network and is not fixed at 3. So, if more than tp->reordering packets have been acked above a given packet, this packet is a candidate for retransmisson. See tcp_mark_head_lost() to see how the reordering metric is used to mark packets as lost. This corresponds to the check you mentioned in the RFC.
So, window permitting, packets are sent as follows; (a)-- Packets marked lost as per description above (b)-- new packets (if any) (c)-- Holes between sacked packets which are not reliably lost.
choice between (b) and (c) is made in tcp_can_forward_retransmit().
Hope this helps. Vijay
It is just I wanted!
