2006-03-20[TCP]: sysctl to allow TCP window > 32767 sans wscaleRick Jones
Back in the dark ages, we had to be conservative and only allow 15-bit window fields if the window scale option was not negotiated. Some ancient stacks used a signed 16-bit quantity for the window field of the TCP header and would get confused. Those days are long gone, so we can use the full 16-bits by default now. There is a sysctl added so that we can still interact with such old stacks Signed-off-by: Rick Jones <rick.jones2@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-03-20[IPV4] ARP: Documentation for new arp_accept sysctl variable.Neil Horman
As John pointed out, I had not added documentation to describe the arp_accpet sysctl that I posted in my last patch. This patch adds that documentation. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2006-02-02[IPV4]: Document icmp_errors_use_inbound_ifaddr sysctlHorms
Taken largely from the commit of the patch that added this feature: 1c2fb7f93cb20621772bf304f3dba0849942e5db I'm not sure about the ordering of the options in sysctl.txt, so I took a wild guess about where it fits.

2006-01-03[IPV4]: Safer reassemblyHerbert Xu
Another spin of Herbert Xu's "safer ip reassembly" patch for 2.6.16. (The original patch is here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=112281936522415&w=2 and my only contribution is to have tested it.) This patch (optionally) does additional checks before accepting IP fragments, which can greatly reduce the possibility of reassembling fragments which originated from different IP datagrams.

2005-11-10[TCP]: Appropriate Byte Count supportStephen Hemminger
This is an updated version of the RFC3465 ABC patch originally for Linux 2.6.11-rc4 by Yee-Ting Li. ABC is a way of counting bytes ack'd rather than packets when updating congestion control. The orignal ABC described in the RFC applied to a Reno style algorithm. For advanced congestion control there is little change after leaving slow start.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
