Abstract

This document outlines steps TCP and SCTP senders can take after the determine that a spurious retransmission has been sent to revert a needless change of the congestion control state. In addition, we present several methods to prevent or mitigate unnecessary TCP and SCTP fast retransmits in the face of segment reordering.
