Which congestion control patches have been added in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6?
Issue
- I would like for the TCP stack as delivered with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 to support setting the socket option (function
setsockopt(2)) for the selection of the congestion algorithm (TCP_CONGESTION) from an application. This functionality has been available upstream since Linux kernel 2.6.13.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5
