Attacking Unnecessary TCP Retransmits Due to Delay Spikes & Reordering (Eifel, F-RTO, DSACK-Based Approaches)

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview Spurious TCP Retransmission TimeOuts (RTOs) have been reported to be a problem on network paths involving links that are prone to sudden delays due to various reasons. Especially many wireless network technologies contain such links. Spurious retransmission timeouts often cause unnecessary retransmission of several segments, which is harmful for TCP performance. Several enhancements to the conventional TCP have been proposed which intend to solve these problems. This paper introduces algorithms like Eifel, F-RTO and DSACK which aim to improve TCP performance.
