tipc: Increase frequency of load distribution over broadcast link
Forward port commit 29eb572941501c40ac6e62dbc5043bf9ee76ee56 from git://tipc.cslab.ericsson.net/pub/git/people/allan/tipc.git Origional commit message: Increase frequency of load distribution over broadcast link This patch enhances the behavior of TIPC's broadcast link so that it alternates between redundant bearers (if available) after every message sent, rather than after every 10 messages. This change helps to speed up delivery of retransmitted messages by ensuring that they are not sent repeatedly over a bearer that is no longer working, but not yet recognized as failed. Tested by myself in the latest net-2.6 tree using the tipc sanity test suite Origionally-signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> bcast.c | 35 ++++++++++++++--------------------- 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) Signed-off-by: David S.
