[TCP]: Turn ABC off.

2006-09-18T06:21:02+00:00

Turn Appropriate Byte Count off by default because it unfairly
penalizes applications that do small writes.  Add better documentation
to describe what it is so users will understand why they might want to
turn it on.

[NET]: Terminology in ip-sysctl.txt

2006-08-17T23:29:50+00:00

this minor patch fixes the description of net.ipv4.tcp_mem sysctl
in ip-sysctl.txt - the headline names the values "min, pressure, max",
while the description uses the "low, pressure, high" values.
Both tcp_rmem and tcp_wmem descriptions use the "min, pressure, max"
values, so I have changed the tcp_mem to match this and not vice versa.

[TCP]: Add tcp_slow_start_after_idle sysctl.

2006-06-18T04:30:53+00:00

A lot of people have asked for a way to disable tcp_cwnd_restart(),
and it seems reasonable to add a sysctl to do that.

[TCP]: sysctl to allow TCP window > 32767 sans wscale

2006-03-21T06:40:29+00:00

Back in the dark ages, we had to be conservative and only allow 15-bit
window fields if the window scale option was not negotiated.  Some
ancient stacks used a signed 16-bit quantity for the window field of
the TCP header and would get confused.

Those days are long gone, so we can use the full 16-bits by default
now.

There is a sysctl added so that we can still interact with such old
stacks

[IPV4] ARP: Documentation for new arp_accept sysctl variable.

2006-03-21T06:40:03+00:00

As John pointed out, I had not added documentation to describe the
arp_accpet sysctl that I posted in my last patch.  This patch adds
that documentation.
