Title: Quick-Start for Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP)
Creation_date: 2008-06-01
WG ID: Independent Submission
Number_of_pages: 19
Abstract:
This document specifies the use of the Quick-Start mechanism by the
Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP). DCCP is a transport
protocol that allows the transmission of congestion-controlled,
unreliable datagrams. DCCP is intended for applications such as
streaming media, Internet telephony, and on-line games. In DCCP, an
application has a choice of congestion control mechanisms, each
specified by a Congestion Control Identifier (CCID). This document
specifies general procedures applicable to all DCCP CCIDs and
specific procedures for the use of Quick-Start with DCCP CCID-2 and
CCID-3. Quick-Start enables a DCCP sender to cooperate with any
Quick-Start routers along the end-to-end path to determine an
allowed sending rate at the start and, at times, in the middle of a
DCCP connection (e.g., after an idle or application-limited period).
The present specification is provided for use in controlled
environments, and not as a mechanism that would be intended or
appropriate for ubiquitous deployment in the global Internet.
