The first of these mechanisms, 'Limited Transmit', calls for sending a new data segment in response to each of the first two duplicate acknowledgments that arrive at the sender. The second mechanism is to reduce, in certain special circumstances, the number of duplicate acknowledgments required to trigger a fast retransmission.}, }
