Since the SACK enhanced FRTO was added, the code has been
under test numerous times so remove "experimental" claim
from the documentation. Also be a bit more verbose about
the usage.

as default. But the policy can be changed by administrator at any time.
For example, to allow any choice:

this minor patch fixes the description of net.ipv4.tcp_mem sysctl
in ip-sysctl.txt - the headline names the values "min, pressure, max",
while the description uses the "low, pressure, high" values.
Both tcp_rmem and tcp_wmem descriptions use the "min, pressure, max"
values, so I have changed the tcp_mem to match this and not vice versa.

Back in the dark ages, we had to be conservative and only allow 15-bit
window fields if the window scale option was not negotiated. Some
ancient stacks used a signed 16-bit quantity for the window field of
the TCP header and would get confused.
Those days are long gone, so we can use the full 16-bits by default
now.
There is a sysctl added so that we can still interact with such old
stacks

Another spin of Herbert Xu's "safer ip reassembly" patch
for 2.6.16.
(The original patch is here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=112281936522415&w=2
and my only contribution is to have tested it.)
This patch (optionally) does additional checks before accepting IP
fragments, which can greatly reduce the possibility of reassembling
fragments which originated from different IP datagrams.

This is an updated version of the RFC3465 ABC patch originally
for Linux 2.6.11-rc4 by Yee-Ting Li. ABC is a way of counting
bytes ack'd rather than packets when updating congestion control.
The orignal ABC described in the RFC applied to a Reno style
algorithm. For advanced congestion control there is little
change after leaving slow start.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
