Title : TCP Extensions for Immediate Retransmissions
Author(s) : L. Eggert, et al.
Filename : draft-eggert-tcpm-tcp-retransmit-now-02.txt
Pages : 20

This document classifies connectivity disruptions along an end-to-end
path into four types and describes how standard TCP mechanisms can
lead to inefficient or over-aggressive sending behavior when
connectivity resumes. The proposed techniques for TCP mobility
detection and response (LMDR) can improve behavior for some types of
disruptions. This document describes another, complementary and
orthogonal modification to TCP's retransmission scheme that improves
performance for disruption types that TCP LMDR does not address.
This extension is based on connectivity indicators, i.e., generic
network events that may indicate that end-to-end connectivity has
resumed. This document focuses on TCP modifications that use
connectivity indicators to increase performance, but does not define
the specifics of such connectivity indicators itself.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-eggert-tcpm-tcp-retransmit-now-02.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
