Abstract
In this informational draft, a simple TCP-level method to tackle unnecessarily inflated TCP retransmission timeout (RTO) value due to non-congestion losses over wireless uplink is evaluated. This method works between the handset and the intermediate node, and does not require the changes on legacy TCP implementations on wireline side. It uses one bit, named Kick (K) bit, from the TCP header to signal the handset or IN to override RTO. Also, this method does not undermine the congestion-control aspect of RTO exponential backoff.
