[e2e] 10% packet loss stops TCP flow

Hi all,
it seems to be a common understanding that if a TCP flow experiences
10% or more packet loss, the flow stops (i.e., attains 0 or meaningless throughput)
ns-2 simulations also seem to agree with this observation.
my questions is what is the theoretical or analytical explanation for this observation?
thanks in advance.
