This patch adjusts the timeout formula to schedule the TCP loss probe (TLP). The previous formula uses 2*SRTT or 1.5*RTT + DelayACKMax if only one packet is in flight. It keeps a lower bound of 10 msec which is too large for short RTT connections (e.g. within a data-center). The new formula = 2*RTT + (inflight == 1 ? 200ms : 2ticks) which performs better for short and fast connections.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
