Tuong Lien says:

====================
tipc: improve TIPC unicast link throughput

The series introduces an algorithm to improve TIPC throughput especially
in terms of packet loss, also tries to reduce packet duplication due to
overactive NACK sending mechanism.

The link failover situation is also covered by the patches.
