+invalid SACK and DSACK
+====================
+When a SACK (or DSACK) block is invalid, a corresponding counter would
+be updated. The validation method is base on the start/end sequence
+number of the SACK block. For more details, please refer the comment
+of the function tcp_is_sackblock_valid in the kernel source code. A
+SACK option could have up to 4 blocks, they are checked
+individually. E.g., if 3 blocks of a SACk is invalid, the
+corresponding counter would be updated 3 times. The comment of the
+`Add counters for discarded SACK blocks`_ patch has additional
+explaination:
+
+.. _Add counters for discarded SACK blocks: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=18f02545a9a16c9a89778b91a162ad16d510bb32
+
+* TcpExtTCPSACKDiscard
+This counter indicates how many SACK blocks are invalid. If the invalid
+SACK block is caused by ACK recording, the TCP stack will only ignore
+it and won't update this counter.
+
+* TcpExtTCPDSACKIgnoredOld and TcpExtTCPDSACKIgnoredNoUndo
+When a DSACK block is invalid, one of these two counters would be
+updated. Which counter will be updated depends on the undo_marker flag
+of the TCP socket. If the undo_marker is not set, the TCP stack isn't
+likely to re-transmit any packets, and we still receive an invalid
+DSACK block, the reason might be that the packet is duplicated in the
+middle of the network. In such scenario, TcpExtTCPDSACKIgnoredNoUndo
+will be updated. If the undo_marker is set, TcpExtTCPDSACKIgnoredOld
+will be updated. As implied in its name, it might be an old packet.
+
+SACK shift
+=========
+The linux networking stack stores data in sk_buff struct (skb for
+short). If a SACK block acrosses multiple skb, the TCP stack will try
+to re-arrange data in these skb. E.g. if a SACK block acknowledges seq
+10 to 15, skb1 has seq 10 to 13, skb2 has seq 14 to 20. The seq 14 and
+15 in skb2 would be moved to skb1. This operation is 'shift'. If a
+SACK block acknowledges seq 10 to 20, skb1 has seq 10 to 13, skb2 has
+seq 14 to 20. All data in skb2 will be moved to skb1, and skb2 will be

+
+* TcpExtDelayedACKs
+A delayed ACK timer expires. The TCP stack will send a pure ACK packet
+and exit the delayed ACK mode.
+
+* TcpExtDelayedACKLocked
+A delayed ACK timer expires, but the TCP stack can't send an ACK
+immediately due to the socket is locked by a userspace program. The
+TCP stack will send a pure ACK later (after the userspace program
+unlock the socket). When the TCP stack sends the pure ACK later, the
+TCP stack will also update TcpExtDelayedACKs and exit the delayed ACK
+mode.
+
+* TcpExtDelayedACKLost
+It will be updated when the TCP stack receives a packet which has been
+ACKed. A Delayed ACK loss might cause this issue, but it would also be
+triggered by other reasons, such as a packet is duplicated in the
+network.
+
+Tail Loss Probe (TLP)
+===================
+TLP is an algorithm which is used to detect TCP packet loss. For more
+details, please refer the `TLP paper`_.
+
+.. _TLP paper: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dukkipati-tcpm-tcp-loss-probe-01
+
+* TcpExtTCPLossProbes
+A TLP probe packet is sent.
+
+* TcpExtTCPLossProbeRecovery
+A packet loss is detected and recovered by TLP.

Age_limit is the age in seconds after which dcache entries
