So every retransmission is a packet lost?
Well, you can have duplicate retransmissions, but yes. But the
manifestation will be different if you are the receiver or the sender.
As the sender, you will *know* that you are resending a particular packet.
As a receiver, you will get a packet that is (seemingly) out of order,
and you will send duplicate ack's to trigger a fast retransmission. In
other words, packets 1, 2, 3 arrive, followed by 5, 6 7. You will then
ack for #4.
