This document proposes a new mechanism for TCP and SCTP that can be
used to recover lost segments when a connection's congestion window is small. The "Early Retransmit" mechanism allows the transport to
reduce, in certain special circumstances, the number of duplicate
acknowledgments required to trigger a fast retransmission. This
allows the transport to use fast retransmit to recover packet losses
that would otherwise require a lengthy retransmission timeout.
