Hi Dave,

At this moment, we do have a working patch under testing it
internally. The handshake code is the most complicated and critical
piece in TCP. One important test is the fail over if routers drop or
act weirdly on SYN/SYN-ACK with payload and/or experimental TCP
options. If things go well we will upstream it to Linux netdev in
April and I'll CC you.

Btw, I am very interested in learning the result of AQM vs
delayed-based CC like ledbat.

Cheers,

Yuchung
