The IETF's standard congestion control schemes have been widely
shown to be inadequate for various environments (e.g., high-speed
networks). Recent research has yielded many alternate congestion
control schemes that significantly differ from the IETF's congestion
control principles. Using these new congestion control schemes in
the global Internet has possible ramifications to both the traffic
using the new congestion control and to traffic using the currently
standardized congestion control. Therefore, the IETF must proceed
with caution when dealing with alternate congestion control
proposals. The goal of this document is to provide guidance for
considering alternate congestion control algorithms within the IETF.
