TCP fast retransmit algorithm
E1099130
UNEXPLORED
The TCP fast retransmit algorithm is a congestion-control mechanism in the Transmission Control Protocol that speeds up loss recovery by retransmitting packets after receiving multiple duplicate acknowledgments instead of waiting for a timeout.

How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T14442698 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.
