This document addresses issues that arise when TCP is used to support
variable-rate traffic that exhibits periods where the transmission
rate is limited by the application rather than the congestion window.
It updates TCP to allow a TCP sender to restart quickly following
either an idle or application-limited interval. The method is
expected to benefit variable-rate TCP applications, while also
providing an appropriate response if congestion is experienced.
It also evaluates TCP Congestion Window Validation, CWV, an IETF
experimental specification defined in RFC 2861, and concludes that
CWV sought to address important issues, but failed to deliver a
widely used solution. This document therefore recommends that the
IETF should consider moving RFC 2861 from Experimental to Historic
status, and that this is replaced by the current specification.
