Hi,
The RFC6347, 4.2.4 [1] say :
"3. The implementation receives the next flight of messages: if
this
is the final flight of messages, the implementation transitions to
FINISHED. If the implementation needs to send a new flight, it
transitions to the PREPARING state. Partial reads (whether
partial messages or only some of the messages in the flight) do
not cause state transitions or timer resets."
I would like to know why "partial reads do not cause state timer
resets".
I mean if we receive the first "handshake message" of the expected
"flight". we can assume that the foreign peer received our previous
flight and so we can stop retransmissions of this flight.
If the next message is lost, we will never respond and so the
foreign peer should retransmit the whole flight. We don't need to
retransmit on our side, so timer should be reset ?
Did I missed something ?
Thx.
Simon
