From 9fd50b0891febee43126ba643bfe56f72dd23bad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Neal Cardwell Date: Sun, 24 Jun 2018 21:55:59 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 02/19] net-tcp_bbr: v2: shrink delivered_mstamp, first_tx_mstamp to u32 to free up 8 bytes Free up some space for tracking inflight and losses for each bw sample, in upcoming commits. These timestamps are in microseconds, and are now stored in 32 bits. So they can only hold time intervals up to roughly 2^12 = 4096 seconds. But Linux TCP RTT and RTO tracking has the same 32-bit microsecond implementation approach and resulting deployment limitations. So this is not introducing a new limit. And these should not be a limitation for the foreseeable future.
