From ce7bc3bf15cbf5dc5a5587ccb6b04c5b4dde4336 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2006 16:35:15 -0800 Subject: [TCP]: Restrict congestion control choices. Allow normal users to only choose among a restricted set of congestion control choices. The default is reno and what ever has been configured as default. But the policy can be changed by administrator at any time. For example, to allow any choice: cp /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_available_congestion_control \ /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_allowed_congestion_control Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.
