Title : Quick-Start for Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP)

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,
CCID-3 and CCID-4. Quick-Start enables a DCCP sender to cooperate
with Quick-Start routers along the end-to-end path to determine an
allowed sending rate at the start of a connection 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.
