The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Self-Clocked Rate Adaptation for Multimedia' (draft-ietf-rmcat-scream-cc-13.txt) as Experimental RFC This document is the product of the RTP Media Congestion Avoidance Techniques Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Mirja Kühlewind and Spencer Dawkins. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-rmcat-scream-cc/ Technical Summary This memo describes a rate adaptation algorithm for conversational media services such as video. The solution conforms to the packet conservation principle and uses a hybrid loss and delay based congestion control algorithm. The algorithm is evaluated over both simulated Internet bottleneck scenarios as well as in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system simulator and is shown to achieve both low latency and high video throughput in these scenarios. Working Group Summary The document has been reviewed by the RMCAT WG and there have been no controversial points. Document Quality The SCReAM algorithm has been implemented in the OpenWebRTC project, an open source WebRTC implementation from Ericsson Research. This SCReAM implementation is usable with any WebRTC endpoint using OpenWebRTC. Personnel The document shepherd is Martin Stiemerling (mls.ietf@gmail.com) The responsible Area Director is Mirja Kuehlewind (ietf@kuehlewind.net) RFC Editor Note Please edit the following sentence in section 3.3: OLD: "... it MAY be necessary to implement additional actions, .." NEW: "... a SCReAM sender MAY implement additional actions, .."
