A method of improving the performance of a transmission protocol using a retransmission timer, in which method the retransmission time-out (RTO) of said retransmission timer is varied as a function of statistics on the round-trip time (RTT) including a spread estimate, which method is essentially characterized in that jitter is introduced into said round-trip time (RTT) to control the spread thereof in order to guarantee a minimum value thereof reducing the probability of spurious time-outs of said retransmission timer. |
