Abstract:
This document proposes an update to RFC 5681 to address issues that
arise when TCP is used to support traffic that exhibits periods where
the sending 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 rate-limited interval. This
method is expected to benefit applications that send rate-limited
traffic using TCP, while also providing an appropriate response if
congestion is experienced.
It also evaluates the Experimental specification of TCP Congestion
Window Validation, CWV, defined in RFC 2861, and concludes that RFC
2861 sought to address important issues, but failed to deliver a
widely used solution. This document therefore recommends that the
status of RFC 2861 is moved from Experimental to Historic, and that
it is replaced by the current specification.
NOTE: The standards status of this WG document is under review for
consideration as either Experimental (EXP) or Proposed Standard (PS).
This decision will be made later as the document is finalised.
