The stack currently detects reordering and avoid spurious retransmission very well. However the throughput is sub-optimal under high reordering because cwnd is increased only if the data is deliverd in order. I.e., FLAG_DATA_ACKED check in tcp_ack(). The more packet are reordered the worse the throughput is. Therefore when reordering is proven high, cwnd should advance whenever the data is delivered regardless of its ordering. If reordering is low, conservatively advance cwnd only on ordered deliveries in Open state, and retain cwnd in Disordered state (RFC5681). Using netperf on a qdisc setup of 20Mbps BW and random RTT from 45ms to 55ms (for reordering effect). This change increases TCP throughput by 20 - 25% to near bottleneck BW. A special case is the stretched ACK with new SACK and/or ECE mark. For example, a receiver may receive an out of order or ECN packet with unacked data buffered because of LRO or delayed ACK. The principle on such an ACK is to advance cwnd on the cummulative acked part first, then reduce cwnd in tcp_fastretrans_alert().
