Upon a request, I made two experiments to compare the TCP SACK behaviors
when Limited Transmit is on and off.

I put the new results at http://www.demizu.org/~noritosi/memo/2005/0320/

  1. In the first RTT of the recovery mode, FreeBSD stable sends one
     data segment for each duplicate ACK segment.  As a result, the
     outstanding window size may not be halved while a loss is detected.

  2. FreeBSD stable retransmits data upon the arrival of the first
     SACK block higher than the data.  As a result, FreeBSD stable
     would retransmit data segments unnecessarily when data segments
     are reordered.

  3. FreeBSD stable seems not to retransmit data higher than
     snd_recover even if the data can be infered as lost.

Any comments are welcome.

Thank you.

Regards,
Noritoshi Demizu
