Title : Profile for Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) Congestion ID 4: TCP-Friendly Rate Control for Small Packets (TFRC-SP)
Author(s) : S. Floyd, E. Kohler
Filename : draft-floyd-dccp-ccid4-00.txt,.ps

This document contains the profile for Congestion Control Identifier
4, the Small-Packet variant of TCP-Friendly Rate Control (TFRC), in
the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP). CCID 4 is for
experimental use, and uses TFRC-SP [TFRC-SP], a variant of TFRC
designed for applications that send small packets. The goal for
TFRC-SP is to achieve roughly the same bandwidth in bits per second
(bps) as a TCP flow using packets of up to 1500 bytes but
experiencing the same level of congestion. CCID 4 is for
experimental use for senders that send small packets and would like a
TCP-friendly sending rate, possibly with Explicit Congestion
Notification (ECN), while minimizing abrupt rate changes.

In the body type:

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.
