Jumbo Data Packet Transmission & RACK-TLP Coming To Linux 6.14 Network Stack
Queued up this past week within the Linux kernel's networking subsystem for the upcoming Linux 6.14 cycle is transmission handling for jumbo data packets as well as RACK-TLP support for managing packet loss and re-transmission
This is work toward supporting larger network transmission windows and higher data throughput. David Howells of Red Hat has been working to implement jumbo data transmission and RACK-TLP support within the Linux network stack. Recent Acknowledgment (RACK) starts fast recovery quickly using time-based inferences derived from acknowledgment (ACK) feedback, and Tail Loss Probe (TLP) leverages RACK and sends a probe packet to trigger ACK feedback to avoid retransmission timeout (RTO) events.
