A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : TCP Congestion Control with Appropriate Byte Counting
Author(s) : M. Allman
Filename : draft-allman-tcp-abc-04.txt
Pages : 8
Date : 2002-11-4
This document proposes a small modification to the way TCP increases
its congestion window. Rather than the traditional method of
increasing the congestion window by a constant amount for each
arriving acknowledgment, the document suggests basing the increase
on the number of previously unacknowledged bytes each ACK covers.
This change improves the performance of TCP, as well as closes a
security hole TCP receivers can use to induce the sender into
increasing the sending rate too rapidly.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-allman-tcp-abc-04.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
