A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Making TCP Robust Against Delay Spikes Author(s) : A. Gurtov, R. Ludwig Filename : draft-gurtov-tsvwg-tcp-delay-spikes-00.txt Pages : 6 Date : 26-Feb-02 We suggest a more conservative management of TCP's retransmit timer, and a more careful response of the TCP sender to duplicate ACKs that arrive after a timeout. The former reduces the risk of triggering spurious timeouts, while the latter eliminates potentially unnecessary retransmits. Although, we believe that these suggestions are permitted (although not explicitly) by RFC2581 and RFC2988, they do not seem to be widely known nor deployed in existing TCP implementations. We therefore want to make implementers aware of these choices.
