Subject: Re: [PATCH] fix integer overflow in H-TCP congestion control
Date: Wed, 25 Oct 2006 09:47:26 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061025084726.GE18364@nuim.ie> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20061024.153023.131917915.davem@davemloft.net>


When using H-TCP with a single flow on a 500Mbit connection (or less
actually), alpha can exceed 65000, so alpha needs to be a u32.
