Where 8985 fits
Why 8985 is special
It detects loss by time rather than by counting duplicate acknowledgements, which works where the older heuristics did not.

2 × 4,096 + 3 × 256 + 1 × 16 + 9 × 1 = 8,985
Read as powers of two: 8,192 + 512 + 256 + 16 + 8 + 1 = 8,985.
In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
8 lotuses, 9 coils of rope, 8 hobbles, 5 strokes
8 × 1,000 + 9 × 100 + 8 × 10 + 5 × 1 = 8,985. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.

Technology & computing
RFC 8985 specifies RACK-TLP, using per-segment transmission times to infer loss and a tail loss probe to recover from losses at the end of a transfer.
