Christoph Paasch says: ==================== Make tcp-metrics source-address aware Currently tcp-metrics only stores per-destination addresses. This brings problems, when a host has multiple interfaces (e.g., a smartphone having WiFi/3G): For example, a host contacting a server over WiFi will store the tcp-metrics per destination IP. If then the host contacts the same server over 3G, the same tcp-metrics will be used, although the path-characteristics are completly different (e.g., the ssthresh is probably not the same). In case of TFO this is not a problem, as the server will provide us a new cookie once he saw our SYN+DATA with an incorrect cookie. It may be (in case of carrier-grade NAT), that we keep the same public IP but have a different private IP. Thus, we better reuse the old cookie even if our source-IP has changed. However, this scenario is probably very uncommon, as carriers try to provide the same src-IP to the clients behind their CGN. Patches 1 + 2 add the source-IP to the tcp metrics. Patches 3 to 5 modify the netlink-api to support the source-IP. From now on, when using the command "ip tcp_metrics delete address ADDRESS" all entries which match this destination IP will be deleted. Today's iproute2 will complain when doing "ip tcp_metrics flush PREFIX" if several entries are present for the same destination-IP but with different source-IPs: root@client:~/test# ip tcp_metrics 10.2.1.2 age 3.640sec rtt 16250us rttvar 15000us cwnd 10 10.2.1.2 age 4.030sec rtt 18750us rttvar 15000us cwnd 10 root@client:~/test# ip tcp_metrics flush 10.2.1.2/16 Failed to send flush request : No such process Follow-up patches will modify iproute2 to handle this correctly and allow specifying the source-IP in the get/del commands. v2: Added the patch that allows to selectively get/del of tcp-metrics based on src-IP and moved the patch that adds the new netlink attribute before the other patches. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
