Abstract

See full text

Periodically retransmitting of multiply lost TCP/IP packets until either an ACK is received or the timeout finally occurs. By retransmitting the packet more than the once as done with prior art SACK approaches, there is a possibility of not having to wait until the timeout period elapses if one of the other retransmissions successfully transits the network. If the packet is successfully received and acknowledged before the timeout period ends, then the more extensive timeout procedures need not be invoked and traffic is much less affected.
