A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : TCP Alternative Backoff with ECN (ABE) Authors : Naeem Khademi Michael Welzl Grenville Armitage Godred Fairhurst Filename : draft-khademi-tcpm-alternativebackoff-ecn-00.txt Pages : 8 Date : 2016-05-31 Abstract: This memo updates the TCP sender-side reaction to a congestion notification received via Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN). The updated method reduces FlightSize in Congestion Avoidance by a smaller amount than the TCP reaction to loss. The intention is to achieve good throughput when the queue at the bottleneck is smaller than the bandwidth-delay-product of the connection. This is more likely when an Active Queue Management (AQM) mechanism has used ECN to CE-mark a packet, than when a packet was lost. Future versions of this document will also describe a corresponding method for SCTP.
