TCPfying the Poor Cousins

In this paper I will describe the work I am doing on the Linux networking infrastructure, with emphasis on cleaning the code, but with important ``side effects'' like reduction of core structures already saving over 600 bytes on UDP sockets all over the net in 2.5/2.6 (tcp, etc too), elimination of data dependencies, reduction of the non-mainstream network families maintenance cost by making them use code that now is ipv4/v6 specific but can be moved to net/core (work done in my net-exp tree, pending submission).

TCP code becomes used by the poor cousins, they appreciate that!
