71c87e0ced [NET]: Generic Large Receive Offload for TCP traffic
This patch provides generic Large Receive Offload (LRO) functionality
for IPv4/TCP traffic.

LRO combines received tcp packets to a single larger tcp packet and
passes them then to the network stack in order to increase performance
(throughput). The interface supports two modes: Drivers can either
pass SKBs or fragment lists to the LRO engine.

c462238d6a [TCP]: TCP Illinois congestion control (rev3)
This is an implementation of TCP Illinois invented by Shao Liu
at University of Illinois. It is a another variant of Reno which adapts
the alpha and beta parameters based on RTT. The basic idea is to increase
window less rapidly as delay approaches the maximum. See the papers
and talks to get a more complete description.

47dcf0cb10 [NET]: Rethink mark field in struct flowi
Now that all protocols have been made aware of the mark
field it can be moved out of the union thus simplyfing
its usage.

The config options in the IPv4/IPv6/DECnet subsystems
to enable respectively disable mark based routing only
obfuscate the code with ifdefs, the cost for the
additional comparison in the flow key is insignificant,
and most distributions have all these options enabled
by default anyway. Therefore it makes sense to remove
the config options and enable mark based routing by
default.

76f1017757 [TCP]: TCP Veno congestion control
TCP Veno module is a new congestion control module to improve TCP
performance over wireless networks. The key innovation in TCP Veno is
the enhancement of TCP Reno/Sack congestion control algorithm by using
the estimated state of a connection based on TCP Vegas. This scheme
significantly reduces "blind" reduction of TCP window regardless of
the cause of packet loss.

This work is based on the research paper "TCP Veno: TCP Enhancement
for Transmission over Wireless Access Networks." C. P. Fu, S. C. Liew,
IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communication, Feb. 2003.

7c106d7e78 [TCP]: TCP Low Priority congestion control
TCP Low Priority is a distributed algorithm whose goal is to utilize only
 the excess network bandwidth as compared to the ``fair share`` of
 bandwidth as targeted by TCP. Available from:
   http://www.ece.rice.edu/~akuzma/Doc/akuzma/TCP-LP.pdf

Original Author:
 Aleksandar Kuzmanovic <akuzma@northwestern.edu>

See http://www-ece.rice.edu/networks/TCP-LP/ for their implementation.
As of 2.6.13, Linux supports pluggable congestion control algorithms.
Due to the limitation of the API, we take the following changes from
the original TCP-LP implementation:
 o We use newReno in most core CA handling. Only add some checking
   within cong_avoid.
 o Error correcting in remote HZ, therefore remote HZ will be keeped
   on checking and updating.
 o Handling calculation of One-Way-Delay (OWD) within rtt_sample, sicne
   OWD have a similar meaning as RTT. Also correct the buggy formular.
 o Handle reaction for Early Congestion Indication (ECI) within
   pkts_acked, as mentioned within pseudo code.
 o OWD is handled in relative format, where local time stamp will in
   tcp_time_stamp format.

d2acc3479c [INET]: Introduce tunnel4/tunnel6
Basically this patch moves the generic tunnel protocol stuff out of
xfrm4_tunnel/xfrm6_tunnel and moves it into the new files of tunnel4.c
and tunnel6 respectively.

The reason for this is that the problem that Hugo uncovered is only
the tip of the iceberg.  The real problem is that when we removed the
dependency of ipip on xfrm4_tunnel we didn't really consider the module
case at all.

For instance, as it is it's possible to build both ipip and xfrm4_tunnel
as modules and if the latter is loaded then ipip simply won't load.

After considering the alternatives I've decided that the best way out of
this is to restore the dependency of ipip on the non-xfrm-specific part
of xfrm4_tunnel.  This is acceptable IMHO because the intention of the
removal was really to be able to use ipip without the xfrm subsystem.
This is still preserved by this patch.

So now both ipip/xfrm4_tunnel depend on the new tunnel4.c which handles
the arbitration between the two.  The order of processing is determined
by a simple integer which ensures that ipip gets processed before
xfrm4_tunnel.

The situation for ICMP handling is a little bit more complicated since
we may not have enough information to determine who it's for.  It's not
a big deal at the moment since the xfrm ICMP handlers are basically
no-ops.  In future we can deal with this when we look at ICMP caching
in general.

The user-visible change to this is the removal of the TUNNEL Kconfig
prompts.  This makes sense because it can only be used through IPCOMP
as it stands.

The addition of the new modules shouldn't introduce any problems since
module dependency will cause them to be loaded.

Oh and I also turned some unnecessary pskb's in IPv6 related to this
patch to skb's.

17b085eace [INET_DIAG]: Move the tcp_diag interface to the proper place
With this the previous setup is back, i.e. tcp_diag can be built as a module,
as dccp_diag and both share the infrastructure available in inet_diag.

If one selects CONFIG_INET_DIAG as module CONFIG_INET_TCP_DIAG will also be
built as a module, as will CONFIG_INET_DCCP_DIAG, if CONFIG_IP_DCCP was
selected static or as a module, if CONFIG_INET_DIAG is y, being statically
linked CONFIG_INET_TCP_DIAG will follow suit and CONFIG_INET_DCCP_DIAG will be
built in the same manner as CONFIG_IP_DCCP.

Now to aim at UDP, converting it to use inet_hashinfo, so that we can use
iproute2 for UDP sockets as well.

Ah, just to show an example of this new infrastructure working for DCCP :-)

a7868ea68d [TCP]: Add H-TCP congestion control module.
H-TCP is a congestion control algorithm developed at the Hamilton Institute, by
Douglas Leith and Robert Shorten. It is extending the standard Reno algorithm
with mode switching is thus a relatively simple modification.

H-TCP is defined in a layered manner as it is still a research platform. The
basic form includes the modification of beta according to the ratio of maxRTT
to min RTT and the alpha=2*factor*(1-beta) relation, where factor is dependant
on the time since last congestion.

The other layers improve convergence by adding appropriate factors to alpha.

The following patch implements the H-TCP algorithm in it's basic form.

TCP Vegas code modified for the new TCP infrastructure.  
Vegas now uses microsecond resolution timestamps for 
better estimation of performance over higher speed links.

835b3f0c0d [TCP]: Add TCP Hybla congestion control module.
TCP Hybla congestion avoidance.

- "In heterogeneous networks, TCP connections that incorporate a
terrestrial or satellite radio link are greatly disadvantaged with
respect to entirely wired connections, because of their longer round
trip times (RTTs). To cope with this problem, a new TCP proposal, the
TCP Hybla, is presented and discussed in the paper[1]. It stems from an
analytical evaluation of the congestion window dynamics in the TCP
standard versions (Tahoe, Reno, NewReno), which suggests the necessary
modifications to remove the performance dependence on RTT.[...]"[1]
