Re: How to Quicken TCP Re-transmission?

Thank you for your reminder. Actually, I understand you and
RFC 2018. What I really concern is how wide support (and being enabled
by default) SACK has obtained. For we do not always transfer data
between hosts running FreeBSD and maintained by network expert.

Actually, TCP is a single sliding window protocol, which limits its
performance on seriously lossy and long delay transmission media.
We assume that a sender has sent packets [A] [B] [C] [D] [E] while
the receiver has received packets [A] [C] [E]. With TCP the receiver can
only tell the sender that [A] has reached. If the receiver can notify
the sender that both [B] and [D] should be re-sent, the performance will
be better.

One more time: see RFC2018.

If you actually take a look at that you will see that it provides a way
for the receiver to indicate that it has received all packets through
[A] (via the cumulative acknowledgment field) and also that it has
received [C] and [E] (using selective acknowledgments). (Knowing that
[C] and [E] have arrived is basically the same as knowing that [B] and
[D] didn't.)
