please, can someone tell me what kind of retransmit policy is used, in current 
implementations of TCP ?
a)"First only"  with only one retrasmission timer for entire queue;
b)"Batch" with only one retrasmission timer for entire queue;
c)"Individual" with one timer for each segment in queue.

Which of these is the standard ?

thanks in advance,
