-  * MSS is Announced (not really negotiated but just announced), in the 3 way handshake +
-  * Window scaling is also announced in the 3 way handshake. The default window size is 64kB which is far too small. That's way w. scaling is ON 99% of the times +
-  * SACK also announced in the 3 way handshake and also ON 99% of the times. If received 1,2,3 5,6 but not 4, I acknoledge 3 and 'selectively acknowledge 5 and 6. +
-\\ +
-The ACK number for a packet is the packet's sequence number plus the data length. See this [[https://osqa-ask.wireshark.org/questions/43447/matching-tcp-packets-in-wireshark|Link]] +
- +
-\\ +
-  * The __**congestion window**__ is a **sender imposed** window that was implemented to avoid overrunning some routers in the middle of the network path. The **sender, with each segment sent, increases the congestion window slightly**, i.e. the sender will allow itself more outstanding sent data. +
-    * You can't 'get' that value directly from the capture file, as **it is NOT ADVERTISED, it lives in the sender** +
-  * The **__receive window__** is the amount of data the **receiver can take at once without getting overwhelmed**. Managed by the receiver, who sends out window sizes to the sender. The window sizes announce the number of bytes still free in the receiver buffer, i.e. the number of bytes the sender can still send without needing an acknowledgement from the receive +

-[[https://medium.com/@atoonk/tcp-bbr-exploring-tcp-congestion-control-84c9c11dc3a9]] +
- +
-  * sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control  # default is usually cubic or reno +
-  * sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control  # list available suites +
-  * sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=bbr   # rebuilt suite so it takes latency as congestion, not packet losses (by google) +
- +
-To test performance: +
-  tc qdisc replace dev enp0s20f0 root netem loss 1.5% latency 70ms # introduces some latency and packet loss +
- +

-WINDOWING:\\ +
-  * MSS and window scaling is negotiated at the beginning. Normally ~*128 +
- +
-When a port is not available and the connection is rejected, an ICMP unreachable message is sent and then a RST tcp packet +

-- **NAGLE**: Aim is to reduce the number of small packets sent over the network. You might want to fill up the truck instead of sending it just with one box, or not.. **Nagle's algorithm and delayed ACKs. Hence Nagle's algorithm is undesirable in highly interactive environments.**\\ +  tcprewrite -C --dlt=enet --enet-smac=3a:85:a1:b3:c3:84 --enet-dmac=c2:54:cb:f2:ee:c8  -i sflow_2022_new.pcap -o rwsflow_2022_new.pcap   # this is needed when the pcap we received is linux cooked (sometimes they miss the dst mac address so we add a dummy one 
-  - TCP_NODELAY socket option allows your network to bypass Nagle Delays by disabling Nagle's algorithm, and sending the data as soon as it's available +  tcprewrite -C --dstipmap=192.168.97.255/32:10.100.10.142/32 -i rwsflow_2022_new.pcap -o rwrwsflow_2022_new.pcap 
-- **Delayed ACK**: is basically a bet taken by the destination betting 200 - 500 ms, that a new packet will arrive before the delayed ACK timer expires.  Nagle's algorithm effectively only allows one packet to be actively transporting on the network at any given time, this tends to hold back traffic due to the interactions between the Nagle's algorithm and delayed ACKs. +  tcpreplay -i eth0 --loop 0 xxx.pcap    
-  -  To disable Delayed ACKs, use the TCP_QUICKACK socket option. +[[https://gist.github.com/niranjan-nagaraju/4532037]]
