This commit adds TCP Appropriate Byte Counting (ABC) support based on
RFC 3465
ABC replaces the previous congestion window growth mechanism and has been
configured with limit of 2 SMSS. See task #14128 for discussion on
defaults, but the goal is to mitigate the performance impact of delayed
ACKs on congestion window growth
This commit also introduces a mechanism to track when the stack is
undergoing a period following an RTO where data is being retransmitted.
Lastly, this adds a unit test to verify RTO period tracking and some
basic ABC cwnd checking

This sets the pbuf's if_idx during the loopif poll function (the
equivalent netif input function). This was found during IP_PKTINFO
development where p->if_idx is read and was uninitialized
This commit corrects what looks like an ancient incorrect organization
of the logic for processing an ACK which acks new data. Once moved,
we can also change to using TCP_SEQ_LEQ on ackno instead of TCP_BETWEEN
because ackno has already been checked against snd_nxt
The work of checking the unsent queue and updating pcb->snd_buf (both
steps required for new data ACK) should be located under the conditional
that checks TCP_SEQ_BETWEEN(ackno, pcb->lastack+1, pcb->snd_nxt)
The comment following the unsent queue check/pcb->snd_buf update even
indicates "End of ACK for new data processing" when the logic is clearly
outside of this check
From what I can tell, this mis-organization isn't causing any incorrect
behavior since the unsent queue checked that ackno was between start of
segment and snd_nxt and recv_acked would be 0 during pcb->snd_buf update.
Instead this is waisted work for duplicate ACKS (can be common) and other
old ACKs
altcp is an abstraction layer that prevents applications linking against the
tcp.h functions but provides the same functionality. It is used to e.g. add
SSL/TLS or proxy-connect support to an application written for the tcp callback
API without that application knowing the protocol details.
Applications written against the altcp API are directly linked against the
tcp callback API for LWIP_ALTCP==0, but then cannot use layered protocols.
If a locally generated TCP SYN packet is replied to with an ACK
packet, lwIP immediately sends a RST packet followed by resending the
SYN packet. This is expected, but on loopback interfaces the resent
SYN packet may immediately get another ACK reply, typically when the
other endpoint is in TIME_WAIT state (which ignores the RSTs). The
result is an endless loop of SYN, ACK, RST packets.
This patch applies the normal SYN retransmission limit in this
scenario, such that the endless loop is limited to a brief storm.
This commit changes ssthresh to be the largest effective congestion
window (amount of in-flight data). This follows the guidance of RFC
5681 which recommends setting ssthresh arbitrarily high.
LwIP was previously using the receive window value at the end of the
3-way handshake and in the case of an active open where the receiver
used window scaling and/or window auto-tuning, this resulted in a very
small ssthresh value even though the window ramped up once the connection
was established
Create new function dhcp_release_and_stop() that stops DHCP statemachine and sends release message if needed. Also stops AUTOIP if in coop mode.
Old dhcp_release() and dhcp_stop() function internally call dhcp_release_and_stop() now.
lwIP aims to support zero-copy TX, and thus, must internally handle
all cases that pbufs are referenced rather than copied upon low-level
output. However, in the current situation, the arp/ndp packet queuing
routines conservatively copy entire packets, even when unnecessary in
cases where lwIP is used in a zero-copy compliant manner. This patch
moves the decision whether to copy into a centralized macro, allowing
zero-copy compliant applications to override the macro to avoid the
unnecessary copies. The macro defaults to the safe behavior, though.
