A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the TCP Maintenance and Minor Extensions Working Group of the IETF. Title : TCP and SCTP RTO Restart Authors : Per Hurtig Anna Brunstrom Andreas Petlund Michael Welzl Filename : draft-ietf-tcpm-rtorestart-05.txt Pages : 14 Date : 2015-03-09 Abstract: This document describes a modified algorithm for managing the TCP and SCTP retransmission timers that provides faster loss recovery when there is a small amount of outstanding data for a connection. The modification, RTO Restart (RTOR), allows the transport to restart its retransmission timer more aggressively in situations where fast retransmit cannot be used. This enables faster loss detection and recovery for connections that are short-lived or application-limited.
