Re: [PATCH 37/44] This commit brings in a new refactored TCP stack called Rack. Rack includes the following features: - A different SACK processing scheme (the old sack structures are not used). - RACK (Recent acknowledgment) where counting dup-acks is no longer done instead time is used to knwo when to retransmit. (see the I-D) - TLP (Tail Loss Probe) where we will probe for tail-losses to attempt to try not to take a retransmit time-out. (see the I-D) - Burst mitigation using TCPHTPS - PRR (partial rate reduction) see the RFC.

Whoa, that's a long subject line.

In git, remember to put a blank line between your summary (which should be around 60-70 characters) and the explanation. A much better subject line would be:

tcp: add defines for use by Rack stack

Once built into your kernel, you can select this stack by either
socket option with the name of the stack is "rack" or by setting
the global sysctl so the default is rack.

Note that any connection that does not support SACK will be kicked
back to the "default" base  FreeBSD stack (currently known as "default").

To build this into your kernel you will need to enable in your
kernel:
    makeoptions WITH_EXTRA_TCP_STACKS=1
    options TCPHPTS
