Abstract:
This document provides a mechanism 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 provides an experimental update to TCP that allows a TCP
sender to restart quickly following a 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.
