Use of TCP SACK Information

With a few collaborators I have been working on specifying the use of SACK and DSACK information.

Documents:

Ethan Blanton, Mark Allman. Using TCP Duplicate Selective Acknowledgement (DSACKs) and Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) Duplicate Transmission Sequence Numbers (TSNs) to Detect Spurious Retransmissions, February 2004. RFC 3708.
Ethan Blanton, Mark Allman, Kevin Fall, Lili Wang. A Conservative Selective Acknowledgment (SACK)-based Loss Recovery Algorithm for TCP, April 2003. RFC 3517.

Talks:

Mark Allman. Status report given at TSV-WG meeting, IETF-55 Atlanta, GA.
