Title : Adding Acknowledgement Congestion Control to TCP
Author(s) : S. Floyd, et al.
Filename : draft-floyd-tcpm-ackcc-01.txt,.ps
Pages : 24
Date : 2007-6-14
This document adds an optional congestion control mechanism for
acknowledgement traffic (ACKs) to TCP. The document specifies an
end-to-end acknowledgement congestion control mechanism for TCP that
uses participation from both TCP hosts, the TCP data sender and the
TCP data receiver. The TCP data sender detects lost and ECN-marked
ACK packets, and tells the TCP data receiver the ACK Ratio R to use
to respond to the congestion on the reverse path from the data
receiver to the data sender. The TCP data receiver sends roughly one
ACK packet for every R data packets received. This mechanism is
based on the acknowledgement congestion control in DCCP's CCID 2.
This acknowledgement congestion control mechanism is being proposed
as an experimental mechanism for TCP for evaluation by the network
community.

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.
