TCP Retransmission: how many packets will be re-sent?
<p>How does the TCP Retransmission?
Which formula is determined by how many packets will be re-sent?
I understand it is set somewhere in the cubic tcp, but where?</p>

<p>Interested in how it works in Linux. I use Debian 8 and just looking dumps. I set up a connection using netcat to 27000 port. I usually do on the server that makes iptables drop all packets on port 27000 and send a packet(And look how many times the package has been re-sent.).</p>
