摘要:
An apparatus and method for an improved bulk read socket call are provided. With the apparatus and method, a new field, so_rcvlen, is added to the socket structure that identifies the bulk read size requested by the user. The kernel of the prior art recv( ) function is also modified so that it sets the so_rcvlen to the size requested by the user prior to the recv( ) function going to sleep and waiting for the full data size requested by the user. A new flag, SP_MSGWAITALL, is also provided in the socket structure. In the TCP input processing, when data is received for a particular socket, the current setting of the SP_MSGWAITALL is checked. If the SP_MSGWAITALL flag is set, it is determined whether the amount of data stored in the socket receive buffer is less than the value of so_rcvlen. If not, the TCP input processing does not wake up the recv( ) thread. However, for every alternate segment, the TCP input processing sends back an acknowledgment (ACK). In the TCP output processing, when the SP_MSGWAITALL flag is set and the amount of data in the socket receive buffer is less than so_rcvlen, the full window is advertised. Once the TCP input processing determines that there is at least an amount of data in the socket receive buffer equal to the value of so_rcvlen, the TCP input processing will wake up the recv( ) thread and the SP_MSGWAITALL flag is reset.

A system, method, and program product is provided that requests, by a first computer system, a new network session with a second computer system. The new network session request occurs after a previous network session between the two systems and the new network session request includes a new sequence number that is different from a previous sequence number that was used during the previous network session. The first computer system receives an acknowledgement from the second computer system that references the previous sequence number instead of the new sequence number. In response to receiving the acknowledgement at the first computer system that references the previous sequence number, the first computer system modifies the new sequence number by setting it to a value that is higher than the previous sequence number, and the first computer system re-requests the new network session using the modified new sequence number.

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code to determine whether an acknowledgment packet from an end point acknowledges receipt of unsent data in response to receiving the acknowledgement packet over a connection with the end point. A determination is made as to whether acknowledgement packets for unsent data have been received sequentially a selected number of times over the connection in response to the acknowledgement packet being for unsent data. The acknowledgment packet is dropped if acknowledgement packets have been received sequentially the selected number of times over the connection.

TCP congestion avoidance is implemented upon retransmission of a packet and is reverted back to the original congestion state upon receipt of an early acknowledgement (ACK), indicating reordering of packets, thereby eliminating a needless restriction on TCP bandwidth. Upon receiving an ACK to a retransmitted packet, it is determined if the ACK resulted from receipt of the original reordered packet or the retransmitted packet, based on the arrival time of the ACK at the sender. If the round-trip-time (RTT) for the retransmitted packet is much lower than the average or current calculated RTT for the network link between sender and receiver, then the retransmission occurred as a result of a reordering event, and the congestion window is restored back to its value prior to the retransmission, thereby permitting the network link to continue operating at its original increased throughput.

A method, system, and program provide for efficient send socket call handling by a transport layer. A transport layer of a network protocol stack receives a send socket call for data of a specified length from an application layer. Responsive to detecting that there is insufficient memory for a single memory allocation to a buffer in the transport layer for at least the specified length, the transport layer blocks the send socket call. The transport layer only wakes the send socket call upon detection of sufficient memory for the single memory allocation within the buffer of the transport layer for at least the specified length, wherein waking the send socket call triggers a kernel to perform the single memory allocation in the buffer and to write the data to the single memory allocation in a single pass.

A method, system, and computer program product in a computer-readable medium for delivering data, received from a network, to a storage buffer assigned to an application is proposed. An application designates a communication buffer within a local data processing system for buffering data communicated with an application. The local data processing system reports to a network interface of the local data processing system a memory address of the designated communication buffer, and the data processing system creates a cookie containing the memory address. The data processing system then sends the cookie form the local data processing system to a remote data processing system, such that the remote data processing system may address data directly to the designated communication buffer.
