From bec41a11dd3dc8c54f766b4f494140ca92ba7c10 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yuchung Cheng Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2017 22:11:39 -0800 Subject: tcp: remove early retransmit This patch removes the support of RFC5827 early retransmit (i.e., fast recovery on small inflight with <3 dupacks) because it is subsumed by the new RACK loss detection. More specifically when RACK receives DUPACKs, it'll arm a reordering timer to start fast recovery after a quarter of (min)RTT, hence it covers the early retransmit except RACK does not limit itself to specific inflight or dupack numbers.
