From 92d31920b84f258badf206eea8aaf5ac677ac535 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gerrit Renker Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2007 12:02:43 -0200 Subject: [DCCP]: Shift the retransmit timer for active-close into output.c When performing active close, RFC 4340, 8.3. requires to retransmit the Close/CloseReq with a backoff-retransmit timer starting at intially 2 RTTs. This patch shifts the existing code for active-close retransmit timer into output.c, so that the retransmit timer is started when the first Close/CloseReq is sent. Previously, the timer was started when, after releasing the socket in dccp_close(), the actively-closing side had not yet reached the CLOSED/TIMEWAIT state. The patch further reduces the initial timeout from 3 seconds to the required 2 RTTs, where - in absence of a known RTT - the fallback value specified in RFC 4340, 3.4 is used.
