Subject: [PATCH 4/7] dccp ccid-2: use feature-negotiation to report Ack Ratio changes
Date: Mon, 25 Jul 2011 07:36:33 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1311600996-6712-5-git-send-email-gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <test_tree_patch_set_update_2011-07-25>

This uses the new feature-negotiation framework to signal Ack Ratio changes,
as required by RFC 4341, sec. 6.1.2.

That raises some problems with CCID-2, which at the moment can not cope
gracefully with Ack Ratios > 1. Since these issues are not directly related
to feature negotiation, they are marked by a FIXME.
