About this document
TCP Fast Retransmit and Congestion Control by Mona Ali is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses TCP congestion control mechanisms including fast retransmit which allows resending a lost segment after 3 duplicate ACKs are received rather than waiting for a timeout, additive increase/multiplicative decrease which probes for available bandwidth by slowly increasing the congestion window size until a loss occurs and then cutting it in half, and slow start which exponentially increases the congestion window size when a connection begins until the first loss event.
