From e3a5a1e8b6548f5d37328e2d3571edc5c9e6d7c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Priyaranjan Jha Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2020 12:12:35 -0700 Subject: tcp: add SNMP counter for no. of duplicate segments reported by DSACK There are two existing SNMP counters, TCPDSACKRecv and TCPDSACKOfoRecv, which are incremented depending on whether the DSACKed range is below the cumulative ACK sequence number or not. Unfortunately, these both implicitly assume each DSACK covers only one segment. This makes these counters unusable for estimating spurious retransmit rates, or real/non-spurious loss rate. This patch introduces a new SNMP counter, TCPDSACKRecvSegs, which tracks the estimated number of duplicate segments based on: (DSACKed sequence range) / MSS. This counter is usable for estimating spurious retransmit rates, or real/non-spurious loss rate.
