| 
 | |
| While playing with CoDel and ECN marking, I discovered a
 | |
| non optimal behavior of receiver of CE (Congestion Encountered)
 | |
| segments.
 | |
| 
 | |
| In pathological cases, sender has reduced its cwnd to low values,
 | |
| and receiver delays its ACK (by 40 ms).
 | |
| 
 | |
| While RFC 3168 6.1.3 (The TCP Receiver) doesn't explicitly recommend
 | |
| to send immediate ACKS, we believe its better to not delay ACKS, because
 | |
| a CE segment should give same signal than a dropped segment, and its
 | |
| quite important to reduce RTT to give ECE/CWR signals as fast as
 | |
| possible.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Note we already call tcp_enter_quickack_mode() from TCP_ECN_check_ce()
 | |
| if we receive a retransmit, for the same reason.
