/**

* \defgroup uipsplit uIP TCP throughput booster hack
|
|
* @{
|
|
*
|
|
* The basic uIP TCP implementation only allows each TCP connection to
|
|
* have a single TCP segment in flight at any given time. Because of
|
|
* the delayed ACK algorithm employed by most TCP receivers, uIP's
|
|
* limit on the amount of in-flight TCP segments seriously reduces the
|
|
* maximum achievable throughput for sending data from uIP.
|
|
*
|
|
* The uip-split module is a hack which tries to remedy this
|
|
* situation. By splitting maximum sized outgoing TCP segments into
|
|
* two, the delayed ACK algorithm is not invoked at TCP
|
|
* receivers. This improves the throughput when sending data from uIP
|
|
* by orders of magnitude.
|
|
*
|
|
* The uip-split module uses the uip-fw module (uIP IP packet
|
|
* forwarding) for sending packets. Therefore, the uip-fw module must
|
|
* be set up with the appropriate network interfaces for this module
|
|
* to work.

|
|
* This function inspects an outgoing packet in the uip_buf buffer and

|
|
* full-sized TCP segment it will be split into two segments and

|
* the actual device driver output function, or the uip_fw_output()
|
|
* function.
|
|
*
|
|
* The headers of the outgoing packet is assumed to be in the uip_buf
|
|
* buffer and the payload is assumed to be wherever uip_appdata
|
|
* points. The length of the outgoing packet is assumed to be in the
|
|
* uip_len variable.
