TCPPureAcks TCPHPAcks - Definition?
Quoted 5 lines
I am browsing linux TCP MIB header code and I see many fields but no explanation on what those fields are.
Some of them are obvious but others are not.
Quoted 7 lines
you can see all of them by typing
/proc/net/netstatDoes anyone know about what these fields contain? Is it documented anywhere?
I did a google but could not find anything.
TCPHPAcks - An ack received in TCP fast path. i.e.
header prediction path. In sequence ack that moves the window. See tcp_ack() in tcp_input.c.
TCPPureAcks - Pure ack recvd (i.e. no data was sent).
This excludes the above category.
I am working on documenting this stuff. Probably a couple of weeks away.
I also suggest posting to [email protected], which is the mailing list targeted to networking developers, or even [email protected], which is the mailing list most networking users post problem reports and questions on. Your chances of reaching a networking person who has time to answer the question are greater :).
thanks,
