    [DCCP]: Introducing CCMPS · 6179983a
    Gerrit Renker authored
    
    
    This introduces a CCMPS field for setting a CCID-specific upper bound on the application payload
    size, as is defined in RFC 4340, section 14.
    
    Only the TX CCID is considered in setting this limit, since the RX CCID generates comparatively
    small (DCCP-Ack) feedback packets. The CCMPS field includes network and transport layer header
    lengths. The only current CCMPS customer is CCID4 (via RFC 4828).
    
    A wrapper is used to allow querying the CCMPS even at times where the CCID modules may not have
    been fully negotiated yet.
    
    In dccp_sync_mss() the variable `mss_now' has been renamed into `cur_mps', to reflect that we are
    dealing with an MPS, but not an MSS.
    Since the DCCP code closely follows the TCP code, the identifiers `dccp_sync_mss' and
    `dccps_mss_cache' have been kept, as they have direct TCP counterparts.
