Author(s): V. Paxson, M. Allman.
Status: PROPOSED STANDARD
Date: Nov 2000
Length: 15280
This document defines the standard algorithm that Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) senders are required to use to compute and manage their retransmission timer. It expands on the discussion in section 4.2.3.1 of RFC1122 and upgrades the requirement of supporting the algorithm from a SHOULD to a MUST.
