Hello,

I am new to Linux programming and I'm looking for some good references on how to modify some existing code and create patches to implement the code.

My ultimate goal is to modify some functions of TCP (specifically the way it handles congestion control) and create some sort of patch to distribute the modified code or implement it easily on other Linux machines.

It would also be nice if I could figoure out how to turn on/off the modified congestion control mechanism through a global sysctl variable.

As I said, I am fairly new to programming in Linux, but there is so much information out there that I am looking for some good references to accomplish my goals.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks.
