 Socket options
 ==============
 
-DCCP_SOCKOPT_PACKET_SIZE is used for CCID3 to set default packet size for
-calculations.
-
 DCCP_SOCKOPT_SERVICE sets the service. The specification mandates use of
 service codes (RFC 4340, sec. 8.1.2); if this socket option is not set,
 the socket will fall back to 0 (which means that no meaningful service code
 is present). Connecting sockets set at most one service option; for
 listening sockets, multiple service codes can be specified.
 
+DCCP_SOCKOPT_SEND_CSCOV and DCCP_SOCKOPT_RECV_CSCOV are used for setting the
+partial checksum coverage (RFC 4340, sec. 9.2). The default is that checksums
+always cover the entire packet and that only fully covered application data is
+accepted by the receiver. Hence, when using this feature on the sender, it must
+be enabled at the receiver, too with suitable choice of CsCov.
+
+DCCP_SOCKOPT_SEND_CSCOV sets the sender checksum coverage. Values in the
+        range 0..15 are acceptable. The default setting is 0 (full coverage),
+        values between 1..15 indicate partial coverage.
+DCCP_SOCKOPT_SEND_CSCOV is for the receiver and has a different meaning: it
+        sets a threshold, where again values 0..15 are acceptable. The default
+        of 0 means that all packets with a partial coverage will be discarded.
+        Values in the range 1..15 indicate that packets with minimally such a
+        coverage value are also acceptable. The higher the number, the more
+        restrictive this setting (see [RFC 4340, sec. 9.2.1]).

+Valid Range:   0,1,3,100-100000 (0=off, 1=dynamic, 3=dynamic conservative)
+Default Value: 3
+
+The driver can limit the amount of interrupts per second that the adapter
+will generate for incoming packets. It does this by writing a value to the 
+adapter that is based on the maximum amount of interrupts that the adapter 
+will generate per second.
+
+Setting InterruptThrottleRate to a value greater or equal to 100
+will program the adapter to send out a maximum of that many interrupts
+per second, even if more packets have come in. This reduces interrupt
+load on the system and can lower CPU utilization under heavy load,
+but will increase latency as packets are not processed as quickly.
+
+The default behaviour of the driver previously assumed a static 
+InterruptThrottleRate value of 8000, providing a good fallback value for 
+all traffic types,but lacking in small packet performance and latency. 
+The hardware can handle many more small packets per second however, and 
+for this reason an adaptive interrupt moderation algorithm was implemented.
+
+Since 7.3.x, the driver has two adaptive modes (setting 1 or 3) in which
+it dynamically adjusts the InterruptThrottleRate value based on the traffic 
+that it receives. After determining the type of incoming traffic in the last
+timeframe, it will adjust the InterruptThrottleRate to an appropriate value 
+for that traffic.
+
+The algorithm classifies the incoming traffic every interval into
+classes.  Once the class is determined, the InterruptThrottleRate value is 
+adjusted to suit that traffic type the best. There are three classes defined: 
+"Bulk traffic", for large amounts of packets of normal size; "Low latency",
+for small amounts of traffic and/or a significant percentage of small
+packets; and "Lowest latency", for almost completely small packets or 
+minimal traffic.
+
+In dynamic conservative mode, the InterruptThrottleRate value is set to 4000 
+for traffic that falls in class "Bulk traffic". If traffic falls in the "Low 
+latency" or "Lowest latency" class, the InterruptThrottleRate is increased 
+stepwise to 20000. This default mode is suitable for most applications.
+
+For situations where low latency is vital such as cluster or
+grid computing, the algorithm can reduce latency even more when
+InterruptThrottleRate is set to mode 1. In this mode, which operates
+the same as mode 3, the InterruptThrottleRate will be increased stepwise to 
+70000 for traffic in class "Lowest latency".
+
+Setting InterruptThrottleRate to 0 turns off any interrupt moderation
+and may improve small packet latency, but is generally not suitable
+for bulk throughput traffic.
 
 NOTE:  InterruptThrottleRate takes precedence over the TxAbsIntDelay and
-       RxAbsIntDelay parameters. In other words, minimizing the receive
+       RxAbsIntDelay parameters.  In other words, minimizing the receive
        and/or transmit absolute delays does not force the controller to

 Known Issues
 ============
 
-  Jumbo Frames System Requirement
-  -------------------------------
-
-  Memory allocation failures have been observed on Linux systems with 64 MB
-  of RAM or less that are running Jumbo Frames. If you are using Jumbo
-  Frames, your system may require more than the advertised minimum
-  requirement of 64 MB of system memory.
-
-  Performance Degradation with Jumbo Frames
-  -----------------------------------------
-
-  Degradation in throughput performance may be observed in some Jumbo frames
-  environments. If this is observed, increasing the application's socket
-  buffer size and/or increasing the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_*mem entry values
-  may help. See the specific application manual and
-  /usr/src/linux*/Documentation/
-  networking/ip-sysctl.txt for more details.
-
-  Jumbo frames on Foundry BigIron 8000 switch
-  -------------------------------------------
-  There is a known issue using Jumbo frames when connected to a Foundry
-  BigIron 8000 switch. This is a 3rd party limitation. If you experience
-  loss of packets, lower the MTU size.
-
-  Multiple Interfaces on Same Ethernet Broadcast Network
-  ------------------------------------------------------
-
-  Due to the default ARP behavior on Linux, it is not possible to have
-  one system on two IP networks in the same Ethernet broadcast domain
-  (non-partitioned switch) behave as expected. All Ethernet interfaces
-  will respond to IP traffic for any IP address assigned to the system.
-  This results in unbalanced receive traffic.
-
-  If you have multiple interfaces in a server, either turn on ARP
-  filtering by entering:
-
-      echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_filter
-  (this only works if your kernel's version is higher than 2.4.5),
-
-  NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots. The configuration
-  change can be made permanent by adding the line:
-      net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_filter = 1
-  to the file /etc/sysctl.conf
-
-        or,
-
-  install the interfaces in separate broadcast domains (either in
-  different switches or in a switch partitioned to VLANs).
-
-  82541/82547 can't link or are slow to link with some link partners
-  -----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-  There is a known compatibility issue with 82541/82547 and some
-  low-end switches where the link will not be established, or will
-  be slow to establish.  In particular, these switches are known to
-  be incompatible with 82541/82547:
-
-      Planex FXG-08TE
-      I-O Data ETG-SH8
-
-  To workaround this issue, the driver can be compiled with an override
-  of the PHY's master/slave setting.  Forcing master or forcing slave
-  mode will improve time-to-link.
-
-      # make EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DE1000_MASTER_SLAVE=<n>
-
-  Where <n> is:
-
-      0 = Hardware default
-      1 = Master mode
-      2 = Slave mode
-      3 = Auto master/slave
-
-  Disable rx flow control with ethtool
-  ------------------------------------
-
-  In order to disable receive flow control using ethtool, you must turn
-  off auto-negotiation on the same command line.
-
-  For example:
-
-     ethtool -A eth? autoneg off rx off
+Dropped Receive Packets on Half-duplex 10/100 Networks
+------------------------------------------------------
+If you have an Intel PCI Express adapter running at 10mbps or 100mbps, half-
+duplex, you may observe occasional dropped receive packets.  There are no
+workarounds for this problem in this network configuration.  The network must
+be updated to operate in full-duplex, and/or 1000mbps only.

+
+Allocating Rx Buffers when Using Jumbo Frames 
+---------------------------------------------
+Allocating Rx buffers when using Jumbo Frames on 2.6.x kernels may fail if 
+the available memory is heavily fragmented. This issue may be seen with PCI-X 
+adapters or with packet split disabled. This can be reduced or eliminated

+the network cable while ethtool -p is running will cause the system to

+  ===========================================================================
+                      The UDP-Lite protocol (RFC 3828)
+  ===========================================================================
+
+
+  UDP-Lite is a Standards-Track IETF transport protocol whose characteristic
+  is a variable-length checksum. This has advantages for transport of multimedia
+  (video, VoIP) over wireless networks, as partly damaged packets can still be
+  fed into the codec instead of being discarded due to a failed checksum test.
+
+  This file briefly describes the existing kernel support and the socket API.
+  For in-depth information, you can consult:
+
+   o The UDP-Lite Homepage: http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/udp-lite/
+       Fom here you can also download some example application source code.
+
+   o The UDP-Lite HOWTO on
+       http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/udp-lite/files/UDP-Lite-HOWTO.txt
+
+   o The Wireshark UDP-Lite WiKi (with capture files):
+       http://wiki.wireshark.org/Lightweight_User_Datagram_Protocol
+
+   o The Protocol Spec, RFC 3828, http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3828.txt
+
+
+  I) APPLICATIONS
+
+  Several applications have been ported successfully to UDP-Lite. Ethereal
+  (now called wireshark) has UDP-Litev4/v6 support by default. The tarball on
+
+   http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/udp-lite/files/udplite_linux.tar.gz
+
+  has source code for several v4/v6 client-server and network testing examples.
+
+  Porting applications to UDP-Lite is straightforward: only socket level and
+  IPPROTO need to be changed; senders additionally set the checksum coverage
+  length (default = header length = 8). Details are in the next section.
+
+
+  II) PROGRAMMING API
+
+  UDP-Lite provides a connectionless, unreliable datagram service and hence
+  uses the same socket type as UDP. In fact, porting from UDP to UDP-Lite is
+  very easy: simply add `IPPROTO_UDPLITE' as the last argument of the socket(2)
+  call so that the statement looks like:
+
+      s = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDPLITE);
+
+                      or, respectively,
+
+      s = socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDPLITE);
+
+  With just the above change you are able to run UDP-Lite services or connect
+  to UDP-Lite servers. The kernel will assume that you are not interested in
+  using partial checksum coverage and so emulate UDP mode (full coverage).
+
+  To make use of the partial checksum coverage facilities requires setting a
+  single socket option, which takes an integer specifying the coverage length:
+
+    * Sender checksum coverage: UDPLITE_SEND_CSCOV
+
+      For example,
+
+        int val = 20;
+        setsockopt(s, SOL_UDPLITE, UDPLITE_SEND_CSCOV, &val, sizeof(int));
+
+      sets the checksum coverage length to 20 bytes (12b data + 8b header).
+      Of each packet only the first 20 bytes (plus the pseudo-header) will be
+      checksummed. This is useful for RTP applications which have a 12-byte
+      base header.
+
+
+    * Receiver checksum coverage: UDPLITE_RECV_CSCOV
+
+      This option is the receiver-side analogue. It is truly optional, i.e. not
+      required to enable traffic with partial checksum coverage. Its function is
+      that of a traffic filter: when enabled, it instructs the kernel to drop
+      all packets which have a coverage _less_ than this value. For example, if
+      RTP and UDP headers are to be protected, a receiver can enforce that only
+      packets with a minimum coverage of 20 are admitted:
+
+        int min = 20;
+        setsockopt(s, SOL_UDPLITE, UDPLITE_RECV_CSCOV, &min, sizeof(int));
+
+  The calls to getsockopt(2) are analogous. Being an extension and not a stand-
+  alone protocol, all socket options known from UDP can be used in exactly the
+  same manner as before, e.g. UDP_CORK or UDP_ENCAP.
+
+  A detailed discussion of UDP-Lite checksum coverage options is in section IV.
+
+
+  III) HEADER FILES
+
+  The socket API requires support through header files in /usr/include:
+
+    * /usr/include/netinet/in.h
+        to define IPPROTO_UDPLITE
+
+    * /usr/include/netinet/udplite.h
+        for UDP-Lite header fields and protocol constants
+
+  For testing purposes, the following can serve as a `mini' header file:
+
+    #define IPPROTO_UDPLITE       136
+    #define SOL_UDPLITE           136
+    #define UDPLITE_SEND_CSCOV     10
+    #define UDPLITE_RECV_CSCOV     11
+
+  Ready-made header files for various distros are in the UDP-Lite tarball.
+
+
+  IV) KERNEL BEHAVIOUR WITH REGARD TO THE VARIOUS SOCKET OPTIONS
+
+  To enable debugging messages, the log level need to be set to 8, as most
+  messages use the KERN_DEBUG level (7).
+
+  1) Sender Socket Options
+
+  If the sender specifies a value of 0 as coverage length, the module
+  assumes full coverage, transmits a packet with coverage length of 0
+  and according checksum.  If the sender specifies a coverage < 8 and
+  different from 0, the kernel assumes 8 as default value.  Finally,
+  if the specified coverage length exceeds the packet length, the packet
+  length is used instead as coverage length.
+
+  2) Receiver Socket Options
+
+  The receiver specifies the minimum value of the coverage length it
+  is willing to accept.  A value of 0 here indicates that the receiver
+  always wants the whole of the packet covered. In this case, all
+  partially covered packets are dropped and an error is logged.
+
+  It is not possible to specify illegal values (<0 and <8); in these
+  cases the default of 8 is assumed.
+
+  All packets arriving with a coverage value less than the specified
+  threshold are discarded, these events are also logged.
+
+  3) Disabling the Checksum Computation
+
+  On both sender and receiver, checksumming will always be performed
+  and can not be disabled using SO_NO_CHECK. Thus
+
+        setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_NO_CHECK,  ... );
+
+  will always will be ignored, while the value of
+
+        getsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_NO_CHECK, &value, ...);
+
+  is meaningless (as in TCP). Packets with a zero checksum field are
+  illegal (cf. RFC 3828, sec. 3.1) will be silently discarded.
+
+  4) Fragmentation
+
+  The checksum computation respects both buffersize and MTU. The size
+  of UDP-Lite packets is determined by the size of the send buffer. The
+  minimum size of the send buffer is 2048 (defined as SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF
+  in include/net/sock.h), the default value is configurable as
+  net.core.wmem_default or via setting the SO_SNDBUF socket(7)
+  option. The maximum upper bound for the send buffer is determined
+  by net.core.wmem_max.
+
+  Given a payload size larger than the send buffer size, UDP-Lite will
+  split the payload into several individual packets, filling up the
+  send buffer size in each case.
+
+  The precise value also depends on the interface MTU. The interface MTU,
+  in turn, may trigger IP fragmentation. In this case, the generated
+  UDP-Lite packet is split into several IP packets, of which only the
+  first one contains the L4 header.
+
+  The send buffer size has implications on the checksum coverage length.
+  Consider the following example:
+
+  Payload: 1536 bytes          Send Buffer:     1024 bytes
+  MTU:     1500 bytes          Coverage Length:  856 bytes
+
+  UDP-Lite will ship the 1536 bytes in two separate packets:
+
+  Packet 1: 1024 payload + 8 byte header + 20 byte IP header = 1052 bytes
+  Packet 2:  512 payload + 8 byte header + 20 byte IP header =  540 bytes
+
+  The coverage packet covers the UDP-Lite header and 848 bytes of the
+  payload in the first packet, the second packet is fully covered. Note
+  that for the second packet, the coverage length exceeds the packet
+  length. The kernel always re-adjusts the coverage length to the packet
+  length in such cases.
+
+  As an example of what happens when one UDP-Lite packet is split into
+  several tiny fragments, consider the following example.
+
+  Payload: 1024 bytes            Send buffer size: 1024 bytes
+  MTU:      300 bytes            Coverage length:   575 bytes
+
+  +-+-----------+--------------+--------------+--------------+
+  |8|    272    |      280     |     280      |     280      |
+  +-+-----------+--------------+--------------+--------------+
+               280            560            840           1032
+                                    ^
+  *****checksum coverage*************
+
+  The UDP-Lite module generates one 1032 byte packet (1024 + 8 byte
+  header). According to the interface MTU, these are split into 4 IP
+  packets (280 byte IP payload + 20 byte IP header). The kernel module
+  sums the contents of the entire first two packets, plus 15 bytes of
+  the last packet before releasing the fragments to the IP module.
+
+  To see the analogous case for IPv6 fragmentation, consider a link
+  MTU of 1280 bytes and a write buffer of 3356 bytes. If the checksum
+  coverage is less than 1232 bytes (MTU minus IPv6/fragment header
+  lengths), only the first fragment needs to be considered. When using
+  larger checksum coverage lengths, each eligible fragment needs to be
+  checksummed. Suppose we have a checksum coverage of 3062. The buffer
+  of 3356 bytes will be split into the following fragments:
+
+    Fragment 1: 1280 bytes carrying  1232 bytes of UDP-Lite data
+    Fragment 2: 1280 bytes carrying  1232 bytes of UDP-Lite data
+    Fragment 3:  948 bytes carrying   900 bytes of UDP-Lite data
+
+  The first two fragments have to be checksummed in full, of the last
+  fragment only 598 (= 3062 - 2*1232) bytes are checksummed.
+
+  While it is important that such cases are dealt with correctly, they
+  are (annoyingly) rare: UDP-Lite is designed for optimising multimedia
+  performance over wireless (or generally noisy) links and thus smaller
+  coverage lenghts are likely to be expected.
+
+
+  V) UDP-LITE RUNTIME STATISTICS AND THEIR MEANING
+
+  Exceptional and error conditions are logged to syslog at the KERN_DEBUG
+  level.  Live statistics about UDP-Lite are available in /proc/net/snmp
+  and can (with newer versions of netstat) be viewed using
+
+                            netstat -svu
+
+  This displays UDP-Lite statistics variables, whose meaning is as follows.
+
+   InDatagrams:     Total number of received datagrams.
+
+   NoPorts:         Number of packets received to an unknown port.
+                    These cases are counted separately (not as InErrors).
+
+   InErrors:        Number of erroneous UDP-Lite packets. Errors include:
+                      * internal socket queue receive errors
+                      * packet too short (less than 8 bytes or stated
+                        coverage length exceeds received length)
+                      * xfrm4_policy_check() returned with error
+                      * application has specified larger min. coverage
+                        length than that of incoming packet
+                      * checksum coverage violated
+                      * bad checksum
+
+   OutDatagrams:    Total number of sent datagrams.
+
+   These statistics derive from the UDP MIB (RFC 2013).
+
+
+  VI) IPTABLES
+
+  There is packet match support for UDP-Lite as well as support for the LOG target.
+  If you copy and paste the following line into /etc/protcols,
+
+  udplite 136     UDP-Lite        # UDP-Lite [RFC 3828]
+
+  then
+              iptables -A INPUT -p udplite -j LOG
+
+  will produce logging output to syslog. Dropping and rejecting packets also works.
