This document proposes a new mechanism for TCP and Stream Control
Transmission Protocol (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 segment losses that would otherwise require a lengthy
retransmission timeout. [STANDARDS TRACK]
