I second this. Can't see a reason for shared buffers, actually. Even if it is to fine grain control how much memory is being used, doesn't seem like a good idea. This is kind of covered by the description of a_rwnd in INIT and INIT ACK chunks, like in [1] snippet below, but a clearer statement is welcomed. "During the life of the *association*, this buffer space SHOULD NOT be lessened (i.e., dedicated buffers taken away from this association);" The shared buffers can trigger from the zero window situation Claudio mentioned to obscure cwnd instability. Linux supports both flavors today, while the support for dedicated buffers was introduced back in 2005 (initial implementation was to use shared ones, and is the default today). 1.https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-tsvwg-rfc4960-bis-08.html#section-3.3.2-12.4.1 > > In section 6.1 "Transmission of DATA Chunks", part A, it's written: > If the sender continues to receive SACKs from the peer while > doing zero window probing, the unacknowledged window probes > SHOULD NOT increment the error counter for the association or any > destination transport address.

Not sure if that supervisory algorithm should be bound to the assoc state. The assoc is fully functional here, other than the fact that the user is sleeping on it.

That puts the 'primary' concept at risk IMHO. Best regards, Marcelo
