Abstract:
This memo provides an experimental update to RFC3168. It updates the
TCP sender-side reaction to a congestion notification received via
Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN). ECN-marking can allow a
network device to signal congestion at a point before a transport
experiences congestion loss or additional queueing delay. The
updated method is less conservative than the TCP reaction in response
to loss. The intention is to achieve good throughput when the queue
at the bottleneck is smaller than the bandwidth-delay-product of the
connection. This is more likely when an Active Queue Management
(AQM) mechanism has used ECN to CE-mark a packet, than when a packet
was lost. Future versions of this document will discuss SCTP as well
as other transports using ECN.
