The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'TCP Congestion Control with Appropriate Byte Counting' <draft-allman-tcp-abc-04.txt> as an Experimental RFC. This has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Allison Mankin and Scott Bradner. RFC Editor, please add this to the start of the document: Statement of Intent This specification contains an algorithm improving the performance of TCP which is understood to be effective and safe, but which has not been widely deployed. One goal of publication as an Experimental RFC is to be prudent, and encourage use and deployment prior to publication in the standards track. It is the intent of the Transport Area to re-submit this specification as an IETF Proposed Standard in future after more experience has been gained.
