- I have some questions on TCP error control.
- For common TCP implementations (e.g. SUN):
-
- - Do we have a retransmission timer for each transmitted
- segment or one timer for the whole window?
-
- - What happens when the retransmission timer expire? and
- how it is set and reset?
-
- - Does the receiver accept out-of-sequence segments as
- long as they fit within the receive window? and what
- is the maximum (receive) window size?
-
- Any references would help.
-
-
- Thanks
