Petri Net Approach to Improving SACK TCP Resilience
Overview The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) was designed to provide a reliable end-to-end network connection. The most up-to-date TCP version, SACK TCP, was designed to be capable of surviving multiple segment loss. However, it has been found that if too many segments in one transmission window are lost, even if SACK TCP transitions into Fast Recovery, it is still possible that timeout will finally occur and the performance will be degraded significantly. This paper proposes a change in TCP that decreases the impact of lost segments by at least 75%.
