From f4a66ca4d2ff093c0f9111b449a248ffb8209b4d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gerrit Renker Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2008 07:30:19 +0200 Subject: dccp: Return-value convention of hc_tx_send_packet() This patch reorganises the return value convention of the CCID TX sending function, to permit more flexible schemes, as required by subsequent patches. Currently the convention is * values < 0 mean error, * a value == 0 means "send now", and * a value x > 0 means "send in x milliseconds". The patch provides symbolic constants and a function to interpret return values. In addition, it caps the maximum positive return value to 0xFFFF milliseconds, corresponding to 65.535 seconds. This is possible since in CCID-3 the maximum inter-packet gap is t_mbi = 64 sec.
