From: David S. Miller Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2006 05:33:04 +0000 (-0700) Subject: [TCP]: Add tcp_slow_start_after_idle sysctl. X-Git-Tag: v2.6.18-rc1~1111^2~14 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=35089bb203f44e33b6bbb6c4de0b0708f9a48921;p=linux-2.6 [TCP]: Add tcp_slow_start_after_idle sysctl. A lot of people have asked for a way to disable tcp_cwnd_restart(), and it seems reasonable to add a sysctl to do that. Signed-off-by: David S.
