In reference to my T/TCP project I decided to develop it on the 2.1 series, as the timescale and windowing options were already implemented, are these something that isn't working?
I'm also having trouble with the tcp_build_options function in the file /usr/src/linux/include/net/tcp.h I'm trying to add in extra options into the header of the TCP/IP packet, and the options are being added (I have a printk in there) but tcpdump doesn't show the options in the packet leaving the machine. It works in the tcp_syn_build_options function though. Can anyone help me?
Thanks
