Advice to link designers on link Automatic Repeat reQuest
RFC 3366, “Advice to link designers on link Automatic Repeat reQuest”, is a Best Current Practice document published in September 2002 by G. Fairhurst, L. Wood. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document provides advice to the designers of digital communication equipment and link-layer protocols employing link layer Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) techniques. This document presumes that the designers wish to support Internet protocols, but may be unfamiliar with the architecture of the Internet and with the implications of their design choices on the performance and efficiency of Internet traffic carried over their links.
What “Best Current Practice” means
Documents the IETF community's recommended operational or procedural practice rather than a protocol specification.
