Title : Specification for the Explicit Control Protocol (XCP)
Author(s) : A. Falk, et al.
Filename : draft-falk-xcp-spec-02.txt
Pages : 39
Date : 2006-11-8
This document contains an initial specification for the Explicit
Control Protocol (XCP), an experimental congestion control protocol.
XCP is designed to deliver the highest possible end-to-end throughput
over a broad range of network infrastructure, including links with
very large bandwidth-delay products, which are not well served by the
current control algorithms. XCP is potentially applicable to any
transport protocol, although initial testing has applied it to TCP in
particular. XCP routers are required to perform a small calculation
on congestion state carried in each data packet. XCP routers also
periodically recalculate the local parameters required to provide
fairness. On the other hand, there is no per-flow congestion state
in XCP routers.
This version specification (-02) includes protocol changes that move
per-packet divisions from the router to the sender.

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.
