• 2100c8d2d   net-tcp: Fast Open base ... Browse Code »

  This patch impelements the common code for both the client and server.

  1. TCP Fast Open option processing. Since Fast Open does not have an
  option number assigned by IANA yet, it shares the experiment option
  code 254 by implementing draft-ietf-tcpm-experimental-options
  with a 16 bits magic number 0xF989. This enables global experiments
  without clashing the scarce(2) experimental options available for TCP.

  When the draft status becomes standard (maybe), the client should
  switch to the new option number assigned while the server supports
  both numbers for transistion.

  2. The new sysctl tcp_fastopen

  3. A place holder init function
