On the Resilience of SACK and NewReno TCP
Overview The de facto requirement in traditional telephone networks is to restore failures in 50 milliseconds or less. The same standard has been assumed in data networks. The study discussed in this paper considers the reaction of TCP to a failure in a continental-scale network. The goal is to determine whether there are particular values for outage duration at which file transfer times increase markedly. Such values would indicate significant objectives for the restoration of networks carrying TCP traffic. For SACK and NewReno TCP, the paper finds that a restoration objective of 600 ms to 1 s is appropriate.
