[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] COLO-compare: Optimize tcp compare for option field

[Zhang Chen]

In this patch we support packet that have tcp options field.
Add tcp options field check, If the packet have options
field we just skip it and compare tcp payload,
Avoid unnecessary checkpoint, optimize performance.
