I'm also not so religious anymore about retaining the existing sysctl functionality to enable/disable ca algs.I haven't looked over this patch completely, so I may well be saying something stupid, but if possible, please don't use the tcp/TCP prefix where you think this code can be used by other inet transport protocols, such as DCCP.
Yes, that would be really nice. Also heres another thought: if we can have multiple sockets, destined to the same receiver, to share the same congestion state. This is motivated from the CM idea the MIT folks were preaching a few years ago - look at RFC 3124 and the MIT website which had some crude linux code back then as well as tons of papers. I think that scheme may need to hook up to tc to work well. cheers, jamal
