Ah, our friend Van Jacobson (and others) in action. Excellent!
thanks for posting this.

I've been working on something that's quite related to this, so it's very nice and timely to see these tweaks in the Linux network stack. It'll be interesting to see how fast these changes propagate and make a real difference.

Regards,
Arjen.
