This document presents the RACK-TLP loss detection algorithm for TCP.
RACK-TLP uses per-segment transmit timestamps and selective
acknowledgments (SACKs) and has two parts. Recent Acknowledgment
(RACK) starts fast recovery quickly using time-based inferences
derived from acknowledgment (ACK) feedback, and Tail Loss Probe (TLP)
leverages RACK and sends a probe packet to trigger ACK feedback to
avoid retransmission timeout (RTO) events. Compared to the widely
used duplicate acknowledgment (DupAck) threshold approach, RACK-TLP
detects losses more efficiently when there are application-limited
flights of data, lost retransmissions, or data packet reordering
events. It is intended to be an alternative to the DupAck threshold
approach.
This document is a product of the TCP Maintenance and Minor Extensions Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
