Abstract

This document presents a conservative loss recovery algorithm for TCPthat is based on the use of the selective acknowledgment (SACK) TCP option. Thealgorithm presented in this document conforms to the spirit of the currentcongestion control specification (RFC 5681), but allows TCP senders to recovermore effectively when multiple segments are lost from a single flight of data.This document obsoletes RFC 3517 and describes changes from it.
