Detailed Description

Rx reordering buffer for TCP.

The class is responsible to safely store the segments, and then returning them in-order to the application, where "in-order" does not means "network-order", but "sender-order" : the bytes should be returned in the same order that the sender application used to push them down on wire.

The first useful sequence that this class is waiting is returned by the method NextRxSequence, and could be set at the beginning through MaxRxSequence.

The max. size of this buffer is managed through SetMaxBufferSize, and could be retrieved using MaxBufferSize. The current size instead is returned by Size, while the amount of in-order data that could be extracted is returned by the method Available.

To store data, use Add; for retrieving a certain amount of ordered data, use the method Extract.

SACK list

An interesting feature of this class is the ability to maintain an ordered SACK list, under the definition of RFC 2018. When a out-of-order segment reaches this buffer, an ACK will be sent out, and the SACK list is generated or updated. From RFC 2018:

If sent at all, SACK options SHOULD be included in all ACKs which do not ACK the highest sequence number in the data receiver's queue.

For more information about the SACK list, please check the documentation of the method GetSackList.

Returns: True when success, false otherwise.

◆ UpdateSackList()

void ns3::TcpRxBuffer::UpdateSackList	(	const SequenceNumber32 &	head,

Update the sack list, with the block seq starting at the beginning.

Note: the maximum size of the block list is 4. Caller is free to drop blocks at the end to accommodate header size; from RFC 2018:

The data receiver SHOULD include as many distinct SACK blocks as possible in the SACK option. Note that the maximum available option space may not be sufficient to report all blocks present in the receiver's queue.

In fact, the maximum amount of blocks is 4, and if we consider the timestamp (or other) options, it is even less. For more detail about this function, please see the source code and in-line comments.

Parameters

head	sequence number of the block at the beginning
tail	sequence number of the block at the end
