Thankfully my protocol doesn't have to interact with other TCPs in any
way - I'm just pinching the TCP flow control mechanism as I figure I'm
not going to come up with a better one. Since it has no need to be
bit-compatible with TCP, and since I'm coding for a specific app
rather than the general
What Wesley said, but just to add something...
In my Humble But Sometimes Correct Opinion, the standards-track guys have
been tilting toward simplicity for about a decade - and the simplest theory
is "if the packet got to the far end and the ACK got back here, there's no

Thanks Spencer, this is massively helpful.
The background to this is that I am implementing a TCP for use in the
app I am building. Obviously I want to use best-current-practice when
building it, but I do need to roll my own rather than rely on the OS'
implementation as my app needs to adjust som
Can I ask why you're looking at TCP Vegas? Are you actually running TCP
Vegas from the early 1990s, and not a more recent TCP?
I haven't seen a network trace for a TCP that didn't do SACK in quite a
while... If your network trace shows the TCPs offering the SACK option,
you're not doing TCP Veg
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
