From 8a87d0d851b9c06455a2def28fa8c2624ffa2e1a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adithya Abraham Philip Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2021 21:56:10 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 17/19] net-tcp_bbr: v3: ensure ECN-enabled BBR flows set ECT on retransmits Adds a new flag TCP_ECN_ECT_PERMANENT that is used by CCAs to indicate that retransmitted packets and pure ACKs must have the ECT bit set. This is necessary for BBR, which when using ECN expects ECT to be set even on retransmitted packets and ACKs. Previous to this addition of TCP_ECN_ECT_PERMANENT, CCAs which can use ECN but don't "need" it did not have a way to indicate that ECT should be set on retransmissions/ACKs.
