Yes I spent the last two days resolving some unrelated glitches to start my testing on Web servers. I should be able to get some results over the weekend.
I will test 0) current Linux 1) this patch 2) RFC6298 with min_RTO=1sec 3) RFC6298 with minimum RTTVAR of 200ms (so it is more like current Linux style of min RTO which only applies to RTTVAR) and collect the TCP latency (how long to send an HTTP response) and (spurious) timeout & retransmission stats. I didn't respond to Hagen's email yet b/c I thought data would help the discussion better :-)
