The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Coupled Congestion Control for Multipath Transport Protocols' (draft-ietf-mptcp-congestion-07.txt) as an Experimental RFC This document is the product of the Multipath TCP Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Wesley Eddy and David Harrington. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mptcp-congestion/ Technical Summary This document presents a congestion control algorithm which couples TCP standard congestion control algorithms running on different subflows. This coupled congestion control algorithm allows a flow that uses multiple paths to utilize bandwidth efficiently while keeping the fairness to other flows at the bottleneck. Protocols such as Multipath TCP and SCTP which support multiple end-points for a single flow benefit from this algorithm. Working Group Summary This document has been discussed in the WG meetings and the mailing list. The WG reached consensus on this document. Document Quality This document was reviewed by various people and has been through WGLC successfully. No substantial issues were raised during the process. There are Linux implementation for this draft that are actively maintained. Some companies show interest in implementing this. Personnel Yoshifumi Nishida is the document shepherd, and Wesley Eddy (wes@mti-systems.com) is the responsible AD. RFC Editor Note This document includes several equations which are key to the material. If the RFC Editor can consider whether there are more clear ways to present some of the equations in the ASCII text of the document, or if the current format is typical of other similar equations that have been published in RFCs, it would be appreciated. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
