Documentations: Analyze heavily used Networking related structs Analyzed a few structs in the networking stack by looking at variables within them that are used in the TCP/IP fast path. Fast path is defined as TCP path where data is transferred from sender to receiver unidirectionally. It doesn't include phases other than TCP_ESTABLISHED, nor does it look at error paths. We hope to re-organizing variables that span many cachelines whose fast path variables are also spread out, and this document can help future developers keep networking fast path cachelines small. Optimized_cacheline field is computed as (Fastpath_Bytes/L3_cacheline_size_x86), and not the actual organized results (see patches to come for these).
