*For links with large RTTs, then having a min RTO may give better tolerance levels for bursty applications and the application designers would luv it! :).. I dont understand how we could have a min RTO of 100 ms for links with large delays..is this for default or for all cases??
Ok - I think I get the point now of having a 100 ms min RTO..but something else popped up into my mind...wouldnt this cause unfairness? Say a very large flow traversing a link say A with very low RTT (say 1ms )will not reduce the rate if a nofeedback is not received for almost 100 RTTs, whereas a small flow traversing a higher RTT link which includes link A in its path (>= 25ms) would have to reduce the rate after 4 RTTs..Is this OK?
