- Don't overload t_maxseg. Previous behavior was to set it to the min
of the peer's advertised MSS, our advertised MSS, and tcp_mssdflt
(for non-local networks). This breaks PMTU discovery running on
either host. Instead, remember the MSS we advertise, and use it
as appropriate (in silly window avoidance).
- Per last bullet, split tcp_mss() into several functions for handling
MSS (ours and peer's), and performing various tasks when a connection
becomes ESTABLISHED.
- Introduce a new function, tcp_segsize(), which computes the max size
for every segment transmitted in tcp_output(). This will eventually
be used to hook in PMTU discovery.
(like the alpha). Biggest problem: IP headers were overlayed with
structure which included pointers, and which therefore didn't overlay
properly on 64-bit machines. Solution: instead of threading pointers
through IP header overlays, add a "queue element" structure to do
the threading, and point it at the ip headers.
* Convert several data structures to use queue.h.
* Split in_pcbnotify() into two parts; one for notifying a specific PCB, and
one for notifying all PCBs for a particular foreign address.
* Don't add the extra 1/8 of the mss when ramping up the congestion window.
* Scale the RTT values slightly to adjust for rounding errors.
* Set the lower bound of the RTO to RTT+2.
