From c968601d174739cb1e7100c95e0eb3d2f7e91bc9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yuchung Cheng Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2013 10:09:05 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tcp: temporarily disable Fast Open on SYN timeout Fast Open currently has a fall back feature to address SYN-data being dropped but it requires the middle-box to pass on regular SYN retry after SYN-data. This is implemented in commit aab487435 ("net-tcp: Fast Open client - detecting SYN-data drops") However some NAT boxes will drop all subsequent packets after first SYN-data and blackholes the entire connections. An example is in commit 356d7d8 "netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix tcp_in_window for Fast Open". The sender should note such incidents and fall back to use the regular TCP handshake on subsequent attempts temporarily as well: after the second SYN timeouts the original Fast Open SYN is most likely lost. When such an event recurs Fast Open is disabled based on the number of recurrences exponentially.
