Title : TCP Friendly Rate Control (TFRC): the Small-Packet (SP) Variant

This document proposes a mechanism for further experimentation, but
not for widespread deployment at this time in the global Internet.
TCP-Friendly Rate Control (TFRC) is a congestion control mechanism
for unicast flows operating in a best-effort Internet environment
[RFC 3448]. TFRC was intended for applications that use a fixed
packet size, and was designed to be reasonably fair when competing
for bandwidth with TCP connections using the same packet size. This
document proposes TFRC-SP, a Small-Packet (SP) variant of TFRC, that
is designed for applications that send small packets. The design
goal for TFRC-SP is to achieve the same bandwidth in bps as a TCP
flow using packets of up to 1500 bytes. TFRC-SP enforces a Min
Interval of 10 ms between data packets, to prevent a single flow
from sending small packets arbitrarily frequently.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dccp-tfrc-voip-05.txt".
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.
