Re: TCP retransmission



I thought like you but I believe this won't work since the retransmitted
packets are usually different from the original- they have some data in
common but not completely.

If that's what you need, simply examine the headers of the packets, and
check to see if you already have that packet.

The design sounds horribly awkward to me though.
