seeing the actual TCP codes in the kernel

muskvar · 12-04-2007, 09:22 PM

i am fascinated by the TCP congestion control and retransmission mechanisms and being a computer science student i know that these have to be implemented in the kernel protocol stack as an assembly or C code(i really dont khow which!).

i wanted to know how i can view the source code of these mechanisms written into hekernel.

please help.

Try drilling down through the /usr/src dir.
