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.
