Title: TCP Extensions for Immediate Retransmissions
State: Active
Authors: L Eggert
Group: Individual Submissions (none)
Date: 2004-09-13
This document describes a modification to TCP's standard retransmission
scheme that improves performance across intermittently connected paths. In
addition to the regular retransmission attempts scheduled at exponentially
increasing intervals, this extension causes additional, speculative
retransmission attempts upon receiving external connectivity indicators.
One example of such a connectivity indicator is "first hop router
reachable." This document does not define the specifics of such
connectivity indicators, although it describes some examples. Instead, it
defines how a conforming TCP implementation operates when it receives a
connectivity indicator.
