Retransmit notify #438
Comments
If you say "yes" to this Selection Property, then (depending on the outcome of racing), the Generic Connection Property retransmit-notify-threshold (sec. 11.1.1.) will be the one to use. I guess this just needs a reference to this section. |
Ah, thanks, still reviewing... yes all we need is a reference! |
Is this useful? - Lower layers may duplicate, protocols may retransmit for various reasons (apart from loss - timer issues, robustness concerns, etc. So what utility does this bring? |
It's a minset thing. So, backtracking:
So: I agree that this may not be super useful - but it's a case where we have a MUST regarding notifying the application, and a MUST for configuring a threshold. Hence we couldn't simply make it a part of the soft error notification, because then wouldn't get to configure the threshold. As stated above, we currently do have a configurable threshold: the Generic Connection Property retransmit-notify-threshold. |
I added the reference, which was needed as @mirjak and I agreed above. |
Adding the reference seems like the correct thing to do. If we were to discuss the usefulness - I have doubts - but we don't need to have that discussion. |
Closing now in this case :) |
" Name: :retransmit-notify
This property specifies whether an application considers it useful to
be informed in case sent data was retransmitted more often than a
certain threshold. The default is to Ignore this option."
I guess we then also need an option to set this threshold?
Or we make this option of type Integer and say 0 is ignore.
