[tcpm] Some comments on 2581bis

[Fernando Gont <[e-mail]>]

Mark,

Some comments on the draft:

** RFC 2581 & SACK
Page 3 says:
         Alternatively, a TCP that utilizes selective acknowledgments
         [RFC2018,RFC2883] can determine an incoming ACK is a "duplicate"
         if the ACK contains previously unknown SACK information.

And page 7 says:
Note that a sender using SACK [RFC2018]
         MUST NOT send new data unless the incoming duplicate
         acknowledgment contains new SACK information.

IMHO, if you keep the "MUST NOT" in page 7, you'd probably 
s/can/MUST/ in page 3. Also, maybe it would be worth to clarify that 
the SACK information should be "in window"?


** Limits on dupacks
Would it make sense to limit the number of accepted dupacks to 
Max_dupacks = (Flight_size_fr - 1) / SMSS ?
where Flight_size_fr is the Flight_Size at the point fast retransmit 
is triggered.

Thanks,
