Justification for the specific reference:
|
|
|
H.810 requires the use of this RFC, Computing TCP's Retransmission Timer, for the codification of the algorithm used for setting the Retransmission Timeout (RTO) over the WAN Interface. The RTO ensures data delivery in the absence of any feedback from the remote data WAN receiver utilized within Continua's architecture. There is also dependency on the use of this spec across other IHE and HL7 that also use this specification. Additionally, many H.810 certified devices exist that use this version of the RFC.
