Currently, the broadcast retransmission algorithm is using the 'prev_retr' field in struct tipc_link to time stamp the latest broadcast retransmission occasion. This helps to restrict retransmission of individual broadcast packets to max once per 10 milliseconds, even though all other criteria for retransmission are met. We now move this time stamp to the control block of each individual packet, and remove other limiting criteria. This simplifies the retransmission algorithm, and eliminates any risk of logical errors in selecting which packets can be retransmitted.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
