Title: TCP Corruption Notification Options
State: Active
Authors: Michael Welzl
Group: Individual Submissions (none)
Date: 2004-06-03
This memo specifies options that enable TCP to detect corruption in the
presence of link layers which hand over known-corrupt data to upper layers.
The receiver notifies the sender of an erroneous segment that would
otherwise be lost and assumed to be a sign of congestion. The sender uses
this ACK to drive its RTO calculation, retransmit the segment and react to
congestion earlier if ECE=1. In addition, this feedback could be used to
realize a more appropriate rate change in response to such lost segments.
