djcham LQ Newbie Registered: Feb 2005 Posts: 17 Rep:	easy question about TCP SACK different people have told me differently, In the presence of SACK, what happens when a packet is dropped twice..meaning the packet is dropped, 3 dupacks are received, a fast retransmit occurs and that packet is dropped again. How long does it wait before it retransmits the packet a second time? or does it timeout? Thanks! you guys are great
