  impose a rate limit on DCCP-Syncs sent in response to sequence-invalid packets,
  such as not more than eight DCCP-Syncs per second."

The rate-limit is maintained on a per-socket basis. This is a more stringent
policy than enforcing the rate-limit on a per-source-address basis and
protects against attacks with forged source addresses.

Moreover, the mechanism is deliberately kept simple. In contrast to
xrlim_allow(), bursts of Sync packets in reply to sequence-invalid packets
are not supported.  This foils such attacks where the receipt of a Sync
triggers further sequence-invalid packets. (I have tested this mechanism against
xrlim_allow algorithm for Syncs, permitting bursts just increases the problems.)

In order to keep flexibility, the timeout parameter can be set via sysctl; and
the whole mechanism can even be disabled (which is however not recommended).

Missing in the code was an exception for sequence-invalid Reset packets,
which get a Sync acknowledging GSR, instead of (as usual) P.seqno.

This can lead to an oscillating ping-pong flood of Reset packets.

In fact, it has been observed on the wire as follows:

 1. client establishes connection to server;
 2. before server can write to client, client crashes without notifying
    the server (NB: now no longer possible due to ABORT function);
 3. server sends DCCP-Data packet (has no ackno);
 4. client generates Reset "No Connection", seqno=0, increments seqno;
 5. server replies with Sync, using ackno = P.seqno;
 6. client generates Reset "No Connection" with seqno = ackno + 1;
 7. goto (5).

The difference is that now in (5) the server uses GSR.  This causes the
Reset sent by the client in (6) to become sequence-valid, so that in (7)
the vicious circle is broken; the Reset is then enqueued and causes the
socket to enter TIMEWAIT state.

This patch reduces the number of timestamps taken in the receive path

The ccid3_hc_tx_update_x() routine is called in
 * the receive path for each CCID3-controlled packet
 * for the nofeedback timer (if no feedback arrives during 4 RTT)

Currently, when there is no loss, each packet gets timestamped twice.
The patch resolves this by recycling the first timestamp taken on packet
reception for RTT sampling.

When the no_feedback_timer() is called, then the timestamp argument is
simply set to NULL - so that ccid3_hc_tx_update_x() takes care of the logic.

17 years ago[TCP]: Enable SACK enhanced FRTO (RFC4138) by default
Ilpo Järvinen [Thu, 20 Sep 2007 18:36:37 +0000 (11:36 -0700)]
[TCP]: Enable SACK enhanced FRTO (RFC4138) by default

Most of the description that follows comes from my mail to
netdev (some editing done):

Main obstacle to FRTO use is its deployment as it has to be on
the sender side where as wireless link is often the receiver's
access link. Take initiative on behalf of unlucky receivers and
enable it by default in future Linux TCP senders. Also IETF
seems to interested in advancing FRTO from experimental [1].

How does FRTO help?
===================

FRTO detects spurious RTOs and avoids a number of unnecessary
retransmissions and a couple of other problems that can arise
due to incorrect guess made at RTO (i.e., that segments were
lost when they actually got delayed which is likely to occur
e.g. in wireless environments with link-layer retransmission).
Though FRTO cannot prevent the first (potentially unnecessary)
retransmission at RTO, I suspect that it won't cost that much
even if you have to pay for each bit (won't be that high
percentage out of all packets after all :-)). However, usually
when you have a spurious RTO, not only the first segment
unnecessarily retransmitted but the *whole window*. It goes like
this: all cumulative ACKs got delayed due to in-order delivery,
then TCP will actually send 1.5*original cwnd worth of data in
the RTO's slow-start when the delayed ACKs arrive (basically the
original cwnd worth of it unnecessarily). In case one is
interested in minimizing unnecessary retransmissions e.g. due to
cost, those rexmissions must never see daylight. Besides, in the
worst case the generated burst overloads the bottleneck buffers
which is likely to significantly delay the further progress of
the flow. In case of ll rexmissions, ACK compression often
occurs at the same time making the burst very "sharp edged" (in
that case TCP often loses most of the segments above high_seq
=> very bad performance too). When FRTO is enabled, those
unnecessary retransmissions are fully avoided except for the
first segment and the cwnd behavior after detected spurious RTO
is determined by the response (one can tune that by sysctl).

Basic version (non-SACK enhanced one), FRTO can fail to detect
spurious RTO as spurious and falls back to conservative
behavior. ACK lossage is much less significant than reordering,
usually the FRTO can detect spurious RTO if at least 2
cumulative ACKs from original window are preserved (excluding
the ACK that advances to high_seq). With SACK-enhanced version,
the detection is quite robust.

FRTO should remove the need to set a high lower bound for the
RTO estimator due to delay spikes that occur relatively common
in some environments (esp. in wireless/cellular ones).
