The charter of the Transport Area Working Group (tsvwg) in the Transport Area of the IETF has been updated. For additional information, please contact the Area Directors or the working group Chairs. Transport Area Working Group (tsvwg) ------------------------------------ Current Status: Active Working Group Chair(s): Allison Mankin <mankin@psg.com> Jon Peterson <jon.peterson@neustar.biz> Transport Area Director(s): Allison Mankin <mankin@psg.com> Jon Peterson <jon.peterson@neustar.biz> Transport Area Advisor: Jon Peterson <jon.peterson@neustar.biz> Mailing Lists: General Discussion: tsvwg@ietf.org To Subscribe: tsvwg-request@ietf.org In Body: subscribe email_address Archive: ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf-mail-archive/tsvwg/ Description of Working Group: The Transport Area receives occasional proposals for the development and publication of RFCs dealing with Transport topics, but for which the required work does not rise to the level where a new working group is justified, yet the topic does not fit with an existing working group, and a single BOF would not provide the time to ensure a mature proposal. The tsvwg will serve as the forum for developing these types of proposals. The tsvwg mailing list will be used to discuss the proposals as they arise. The working group will meet if there are one or more active proposals that require discussion. The working group milestones will be updated as needed to reflect the proposals currently being worked on and the target dates for their completion. New milestones will be first reviewed by the IESG. The working group will be on-going as long as the ADs believe it serves a useful purpose. Goals and Milestones: Done Updates to RFC 793 to resolve conflict between diffserv and TCP interpretation of IP Precedence submitted for publication as Proposed Standard Done Addition to RFC 2018 to use TCP SACK for detecting unnecessary retransmissions submitted for publication as Proposed Standard Done Submit I-D on TCP Congestion Window Validation to IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard Done Submit I-D on Computing TCP's Retransmission Timer to IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard. Done submit revised ID for ECN to IESG for consideration as a proposed standard Done submit ID on UDP-lite to IESG for consideration as a proposed standard Done TCP-Friendly Rate Control (TFRC) unicast congestion control algorithm submitted to IESG for consideration as a proposed standard Done submit ID for SCTP unreliable transport mode to IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard Mar 04 submit early retransmission to IESG for consideration as Experimental Mar 04 submit SCTP Implementer's Guide to IESG for consideration as an Informational RFC Apr 04 submit Eifel response to IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard Jun 04 ECN Nonce procedure submitted to IESG for consideration as Proposed Standard Sep 04 submit ID for SCTP API for consideration as an Informational RFC Sep 04 TCP-Friendly Variable Rate Control unicast congestion control submitted to IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard
