Abstract:
This document documents some issues with the current definition of
the backup subflows in [RFC6824]. The solution proposed in [RFC6824]
works well when a subflow completely fails. However, if a subflow
suffers from huge packet losses, but still remains up, then the delay
to switch to the backup subflow may be very long. We propose to
measure the evolution of the retransmission timer (RTO) to detect the
bad performance of subflows.
