[ Upstream commit 522040ea5fdd1c33bbf75e1d7c7c0422b96a94ef ] ECN signals currently forces TCP to enter quickack mode for up to 16 (TCP_MAX_QUICKACKS) following incoming packets. We believe this is not needed, and only sending one immediate ack for the current packet should be enough. This should reduce the extra load noticed in DCTCP environments, after congestion events. This is part 2 of our effort to reduce pure ACK packets.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
