Hi Gorry & Gerrit,
Nice to see that there is new work proposed on TFRC and DCCP. I will
read it soon, and hope others do the same and send comments on the list.
As an operational point: for a while now the DCCP working group has
been in a slow progress of winding down, so it is a good question how
to move forward proposed new work that appears to have energy behind
it. I would certainly be happy to see a boost of new life in the DCCP
group, but I guess that would require strong evidence that there is a
significant community interest to go on. I believe our area directors
can give a word of advise on this...

Dear DCCP'ers.
Gerrit has been working on improving the CCID-3 implementation in
Linux, and this has raised the question of whether we can now
progress the 'sender sends RTT estimate' option that was originally
specified (and recommended) in RFC 5348 and which was submitted
asdraft-renker-dccp-tfrc-rtt-option-00.txt, with accompanying slides
for IETF-72 at:
https://wiki.tools.ietf.org/agenda/72/slides/dccp-3.pdf
We therefore have uploaded
http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-renker-dccp-tfrc-rtt-option-01.txt
We'd like the WG to consider this minor, but important update as a
suitable piece of work for standardisation - We believe it addresses
several practical issues with the current DCCP CCID3/4 approach.
Please read and send comments to the DCCP list.
Best wishes,
Gorry & Gerrit
