I would like to submit a patch that adds a /proc file to the kernel which monitors the health of active TCP connections. It does this by counting the number of duplicate ACKs sent out, among other things.
I have a website detailing the exact metrics used and why I choose them: http://heron.ucsd.edu/tcphealth/
I would rather that you add this to the tcp_diag facility in 2.4.x instead of creating yet another proc file. tcp_diag is designed perfectly for fetching the kind of information your TCP health monitor is providing.
This is irregardless of whether your selection of health metrics is sound or not, I have not looked into this part at all. But it will have to be discussed before we think about adding the changes. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
