SV: [lwip-users] TCP problem

[Jan Wester]

Hi
It works by setting MSS = 2*WND (the threshold is higher), but it still
decrease the window size and that is wrong, I have also compare it with a
windows machine

Setting the threshold = 0, will not turn off the behavior

Med vänliga hälsningar/Best Regards

Up to 1.3.0, it seems to have been working with WND == MSS. And although
this is not a good idea regarding performance, there are applications where
it makes sense, e.g. if your system is too slow to receive two segments in a
row without a big gap in between. So adding a check including #error might
be annoying in this case.

However, I a) don't know if other TCP stacks handle this well (problems with
remote peers may arise) and b) I guess WND < MSS might not work at all, so
at least checking this in lwip_init might be a good idea.

After all, I'm still not sure that the change in behaviour seen from 1.3.0
to 1.3.1 (can be seen quite good in Jan's wireshark dump) is OK (unless it
can be turned off by setting the window update threshold to zero).
