Earlier you wrote "New data are always pushed into the network in this quantum - a way to much for the standard TCP CC mechanism to tune into a steady state for network with a low BDP." I read that as implying a concern about how much data any one connection injects into the network at any moment in time. TSO does not change what any one packet looks like on the wire, but it certainly does change how many of them rush the wire at one time, yes bounded by cwnd - something those effectively infinite data sources like FTP will be pushing as far as it will go. And depending on whether the stack receiving the LRO-stretched ACKs is counting bytes ACKed or number of ACKs the LRO can induce similar bursty behaviour. >> And LRO can/may induce stretch ACK behaviour not unlike the >> ACK avoidance heuristics of stacks such as those in HP-UX or Solaris. >> What I've seen so far has suggested the goal is to get IW10 "blessed" >> not to make IW10 mandatory. > > If the IETF "blessed" IW10 every vendor will enable it ... And I presume, make it configurable. It is already configurable on a per-route basis in the Linux stack. rick jones http://homepage.mac.com/perfgeek
