From efe5e737d7da48e6f99a1d9a53fe04b6d21b7511 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bhasker Hariharan Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2019 10:22:42 -0800 Subject: Do not drop packets w/ missing TCP timestamps. RFC7323 recommends that if the timestamp option was negotiated then all packets should carry a TCP Timestamp and any packets that do not should be dropped. Netstack implemented this behaviour. Linux OTOH does not and will accept such packets. This change makes Netstack behaviour compatible with Linux. Also now that we allow such packets, we do need to update RTO calculations based on these packets even if timestamp option is enabled.
