Hey all,

I am currently working on a socket option to disable the tcp
congestion control. I think the simplest approach to do this is to
ignore cwnd before sending out a packet.

After going through tcp output engine it seems that tcp_cwnd_test is
the method that decides that how many segments can be sent out on a
wire. For testing it out, I changed this method so that if no-cc
option is ON, just return a big constant value. But, it didn't work
and I am unable to see a burst of pkts. It looks like that I am
missing something here.

Any suggestions that what is the right place to look for disabling the
congestion control ?

Thanks much!

Obaid
