Congestion Control - Fast retransmit
n Fast retransmit occurs when multiple (>= 3)
dupacks come back
n Fast recovery follows fast retransmit
n Different from timeout : slow start follows timeout
timeout occurs when no more packets are getting across
fast retransmit occurs when a packet is lost, but latter
packets get through
ack clock is still there when fast retransmit occurs
no need to slow start
