I wonder if someone here with TCP skillz could help me with an implementation question. Apologies if this is off-topic for this list, but its answer will help me in p2p hacking. :o)
TCP Vegas, as per http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/brakmo94tcp.html section 3.2, retransmits a packet when it receives a duplicate ACK, if the time elapsed since the packet was originally sent exceeds 'the timeout value', but doesn't say what this timeout value is. The implication seems to be that it is RTO, but this makes no sense; if RTO had elapsed, the Reno/Tahoe retransmission timer (which Vegas retains) would have already fired anyway. So, what value should be used for the timeout? SRTT?
