    dccp: Resolve dependencies of features on choice of CCID · 9eca0a47
    Gerrit Renker 提交于
    This provides a missing link in the code chain, as several features implicitly
    depend and/or rely on the choice of CCID. Most notably, this is the Send Ack Vector
    feature, but also Ack Ratio and Send Loss Event Rate (also taken care of).
    
    For Send Ack Vector, the situation is as follows:
     * since CCID2 mandates the use of Ack Vectors, there is no point in allowing 
       endpoints which use CCID2 to disable Ack Vector features such a connection;
    
     * a peer with a TX CCID of CCID2 will always expect Ack Vectors, and a peer
       with a RX CCID of CCID2 must always send Ack Vectors (RFC 4341, sec. 4);
    
     * for all other CCIDs, the use of (Send) Ack Vector is optional and thus
       negotiable. However, this implies that the code negotiating the use of Ack
       Vectors also supports it (i.e. is able to supply and to either parse or
       ignore received Ack Vectors). Since this is not the case (CCID-3 has no Ack
       Vector support), the use of Ack Vectors is here disabled, with a comment
       in the source code.
    
    An analogous consideration arises for the Send Loss Event Rate feature,
    since the CCID-3 implementation does not support the loss interval options
    of RFC 4342. To make such use explicit, corresponding feature-negotiation
    options are inserted which signal the use of the loss event rate option,
    as it is used by the CCID3 code.
    
    Lastly, the values of the Ack Ratio feature are matched to the choice of CCID.
    
    The patch implements this as a function which is called after the user has
    made all other registrations for changing default values of features.
    
    The table is variable-length, the reserved (and hence for feature-negotiation
    invalid, confirmed by considering section 19.4 of RFC 4340) feature number `0'
    is used to mark the end of the table.
