Randall Stewart cd84e78f09 tcp idle reduce does not work for a server.
TCP has an idle-reduce feature that allows a connection to reduce its
cwnd after it has been idle more than an RTT. This feature only works
for a sending side connection. It does this by at output checking the
idle time (t_rcvtime vs ticks) to see if its more than the RTO timeout.

The problem comes if you are a web server. You get a request and
then send out all the data.. then go idle. The next time you would
send is in response to a request from the peer asking for more data.
But the thing is you updated t_rcvtime when the request came in so
you never reduce.

The fix is to do the idle reduce check also on inbound.

FreeBSD Source:

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.

FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory. Additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information.

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7), config(8), FreeBSD handbook on building userland, and Handbook for kernels for more information, including setting make(1) variables.
