Hi Pedro, Thank you for your mention about the patent problem. Thanks to Hiren and Lars support, we have already discuss patent with microsoft people. But I am not sure that we must care about Linux because we worked on our implementation without linux. Let's wait and see if redhat people say about it.
Again, thank you for your interest to dctcp implementation :) Regards, -- Midori 2015-01-13 1:06 GMT+09:00 Pedro Giffuni <p...@freebsd.org>: > > On 12/01/2015 03:33 a.m., Hiren Panchasara wrote: > >> Author: hiren >> Date: Mon Jan 12 08:33:04 2015 >> New Revision: 277054 >> URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/277054 >> >> Log: >> DCTCP (Data Center TCP) implementation. >> DCTCP congestion control algorithm aims to maximise throughput and >> minimise >> latency in data center networks by utilising the proportion of Explicit >> Congestion Notification (ECN) marked packets received from capable >> hardware as a >> congestion signal. >> Highlights: >> Implemented as a mod_cc(4) module. >> ECN (Explicit congestion notification) processing is done differently >> from >> RFC3168. >> Takes one-sided DCTCP into consideration where only one of the sides >> is using >> DCTCP and other is using standard ECN. >> IETF draft: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bensley-tcpm-dctcp-00 >> Thesis report by Midori Kato: https://eggert.org/students/ >> kato-thesis.pdf >> Submitted by: Midori Kato <kat...@sfc.wide.ad.jp> and >> Lars Eggert <l...@netapp.com> >> with help and modifications from >> hiren >> Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D604 >> Reviewed by: gnn >> > > Missing > > RelNotes= yes > > Huge thank you! > > FWIW, I thought the linux guys wouldn't take it over some GPL vs patent > issue but apparently redhat pushed some muscle and just did it: > > http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id= > e3118e8359bb7c59555aca60c725106e6d78c5ce > > Not that I care much what they do ;). > > Pedro. > > _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
