Description Federico Reghenzani 2013-01-08 07:41:52 UTC 
From kernel 3.6 there is the new TCP_FASTOPEN constant defined in <linux/tcp.h> to permit TCP Fast Open connection as described in this article: https://lwn.net/Articles/508865/

That costant should be defined also in glibc, to permit set it with setsockopt(). I think the file is /sysdeps/gnu/netinet/tcp.h, but I'm not sure.
