Subject: TCP connection passing, version 3
Date: Fri, 1 Nov 2002 18:21:23 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021101182123.A30594@almesberger.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20021031200017.A21544@almesberger.net>; from wa@almesberger.net on Thu, Oct 31, 2002 at 08:00:17PM -0300

Almost a whole day since the last update ! High time for something
new:

http://www.almesberger.net/tcpcp/tcpcp-3.tar.gz

The main change this time is that restarting the connection is no 
longer done by setting TCP_ICI, but by setting the new socket 
option TCP_KICK. This avoids the "need to reconfigure firewall 
within RTT or performance may suffer" race for applications.

So this leaves mainly the difficult parts (OOO recovery and
urgent data) to implement/fix.

----------------------------------- CHANGES -----------------------------------

Version 3 (1-NOV-2002)

- moved activation of dormant connection from TCP_ICI/tcpcp_create to new
  socket option TCP_KICK and API function tcpcp_kick
- tcpcp_getici now returns any errors pending in sk->err
- API: added tcpcp_set_dst to set the destination address/port
- added "install" and "uninstall" make targets
- libtcpcp is now a shared library
- dumpici: added option -V that prints version information
