Besides, I use M5_1.1, and the kernel version is 2.6.11.8

  Subject: [m5-users] A question about the TCP model on M5


  Hi,

  I'm running some simulation on TCP/IP workload. And something unexpected 
happened to me. As we know, TCP will play fast retransmit when the sender 
receive 3 or more duplicate ACKs asap. However, on my observation, sometimes, 
when the sender see the duplicate ACKs, it will not trigger a fast retransmit, 
instead, a timeout is set up, which means it will take much longer time to 
complete the retransmission. I'm quite confused on this. I tracked the packets, 
and I'm sure that the duplicate ACKs successfully arrived at the sender side. 
As much as I know, such behavior of TCP is not reasonable. How is TCP 
implemented on M5?

  Thanks,
  Yu
