  • Method and apparatus for setting a TCP retransmission timer
    Publication number: 20080291911
    Abstract: A retransmission timer of a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) session is set based at least in part on the predicted mean round trip time differential of the TCP session. For example, in one embodiment, after receiving a non-duplicate acknowledgment, the predicted mean round trip time differential of the TCP session would be determined and used to further determine the predicted round trip time of the next transmitted data segment. In one embodiment, the predicted round trip time of the next transmitted data segment would be used to determine a retransmission timeout, the value of which would be inserted into a retransmission timer.
