Abstract:
This document addresses issues that arise when TCP is used to support
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
application-limited 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 proposes an update to
the status of RFC 2861 by recommending it is moved from Experimental
to Historic status, and that it is replaced by the current
specification.
