From 3b585b34493ec9db382d6c325d4ed77b9eb2d2a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: stephen hemminger Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2011 07:52:16 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] tcp_cubic: enable high resolution ack time if needed This is a refined version of an earlier patch by Lucas Nussbaum. Cubic needs RTT values in milliseconds. If HZ < 1000 then the values will be too coarse. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Reported-by: Lucas Nussbaum Signed-off-by: David S.
