Using TCP Duplicate Selective Acknowledgement and Stream Control Transmission Protocol Duplicate Transmission Sequence Numbers to Detect Spurious Retransmissions
RFC 3708, “Using TCP Duplicate Selective Acknowledgement and Stream Control Transmission Protocol Duplicate Transmission Sequence Numbers to Detect Spurious Retransmissions”, is an Experimental document published in February 2004 by E. Blanton, M. Allman. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
TCP and Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) provide notification of duplicate segment receipt through Duplicate Selective Acknowledgement (DSACKs) and Duplicate Transmission Sequence Number (TSN) notification, respectively. This document presents conservative methods of using this information to identify unnecessary retransmissions for various applications. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
What “Experimental” means
Describes a specification that is part of a research or development effort, published so the community can gain experience with it.
