Abstract: We re-examine the two reasons for the conservative 1-second Minimum TCP-RTO to protect against spurious timeouts: i) the OS clock granularity and ii) the Delayed ACKs. We find that reason (i) is canceled in modern OSs; we carefully design a mechanism to deal with reason (ii). Simulation results show that in next generation's high-speed, wireless-access networks, TCP-RTO should not be limited by a fixed, conservative lower bound. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
