Title : IAB Concerns Regarding Congestion Control for Voice
Traffic in the Internet
Author(s) : S. Floyd, J. Kempf
Filename : draft-iab-congestion-00.txt,.ps
Pages : 25
Date : 2003-6-24
This document discusses IAB concerns about effective end-to-end
congestion control for best-effort voice traffic in the Internet.
These concerns have to do with fairness, user quality, and with the
dangers of congestion collapse on underprovisioned links in the
Internet. The concerns are particularly relevant in light of the
absence of a widespread QoS deployment in the Internet, and the
likelihood that this situation will not change much in the near term.
Feedback can be sent to the IAB mailing list at iab@ietf.org, or to
the editors at floyd@icir.org and kempf@docomolabs-usa.com. Feedback
can also be sent to the end2end-interest mailing list [E2E].

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.
