Ok, perhaps the above helps to clarify what I'm hacking at. I'll
have a look at using bits like what you outlined to flag the connection
between the two modules and see what I come up against. At the moment
8390.c doesn't require an init_module() function at all. I can see the
following case requiring some thought already:

wd.o loads, and subsequently autoloads 8390, marks it in use as
per your outlined method.

ne.o now loads, now 8390 is already present, but we must mark it as
in use by ne.o as well.

Anyways, thanks for the quick reply.

As far as I can recall slow start is not the problem here, and the
problem will be present with 2.0.x kernels as well. The problem is not
quite so simple as slow start detecting the correct maximum window when
a drop occurs. I seem to recall seeing actual extra delays being introduced
in some traces that could not be attributed to simple packet loss.

Also, slow start behaves rather badly (correctly implemented mind you)
when the bandwidth*delay product of your real path is significantly
smaller than your window size setting. Van Jacobson noted this in his
original paper on slow start and stated that this should be considered
punishment for failing to correctly choose window size settings.
Alternatively this can also be viewed as TCP performs badly when the
available queueing on a path for a particular flow greatly
exceeds badwidth*delay. The problem is that a packet loss detection will
be delayed a long time due to the long queue length, and this starts
to have bad effects on the timing of the whole enterprise.

Summary: until someone deploys a TCP that actually tries to detect
bandwidth*delay for its path, window size settings are going to be
necessary to achieve best performance.

But. The Ascend is just a router "in between" - why should it know about
window sizes, ACKs etc? MaxMTU - I can see that. But the rest should be
an end-to-end thing.

The problem is that the Ascend can't send a sequence of packets correctly
because of a bug in its VJ compression.

To match the tcpdump log, I also have:

May 22 14:13:18 shawc kernel: TCPv4 bad checksum from 194.159.255.135:0014 to 158.152.146.90:0416, len=1480/1480/1500

May 22 14:13:22 shawc last message repeated 7 times

If I set a small window at my end, then the Ascend doesn't outreach its
capabilities.

Then disable VJ compression on your end (with the -vj option of pppd).
That should give you a small penalty for small packets (telnet etc.),
but looks like the cleanest way to me.

Just to clarify here, am I correct in assuming that in this trace
you where sending data from the linux box 194.159.255.135 to some
other box at 158.152.146.90?

If so, then this sequence:

>14:13:23.399699 194.159.255.135.20 > 158.152.146.90.1046: . 62293:63753(1460)

>63753:65213(1460) ack 1 win 8760 (DF) [tos 0x8]

Would seem to indicate a problem with our TCP code.
If the data was flowing the other way, then I cannot make a clear
deduction on where the problem was from this small data sample.
