[PATCH RFC v2 net-next 2/2] tcp: Add Redundant Data Bundling (RDB)

2015-11-23 Thread Bendik Rønning Opstad
RDB is a mechanism that enables a TCP sender to bundle redundant (already sent) data with TCP packets containing new data. By bundling (retransmitting) already sent data with each TCP packet containing new data, the connection will be more resistant to sporadic packet loss which reduces the applica
