This document describes a modified sender-side algorithm for managingthe TCP and Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) retransmissiontimers that provides faster loss recovery when there is a small amountof outstanding data for a connection. The modification, RTO Restart(RTOR), allows the transport to restart its retransmission timer usinga smaller timeout duration, so that the effective retransmissiontimeout (RTO) becomes more aggressive in situations where fastretransmit cannot be used. This enables faster loss detection andrecovery for connections that are short lived or application limited.
