Hello, In order to facilitate the github based editorial process of a revised RFC5033 document that outlines the current best practises when it comes to designing new congestion control mechanisms, I want to invite everyone who has commented across various lists and in meetings, to raise issues and contribute text here:
https://rscheff.github.io/rfc5033bis https://github.com/rscheff/rfc5033bis/issues As the home for this work has not yet fully formed yet, I created this as an individual draft. There are no text changes in rfc50333bis-00 compared to rfc5033, only minor editorial changes due to the use of markdown for the body of the document. A number of individuals have already expressed their interest in contributing improvements to this document. I am looking forward to those contributions - either as issues and discussion points, or as concrete text snippets - in order to reflect the current best understanding of the congestion control environment. A new version of I-D, draft-scheffenegger-congress-rfc5033bis-00.txt has been successfully submitted by Richard Scheffenegger and posted to the IETF repository. Name: draft-scheffenegger-congress-rfc5033bis Revision: 00 Title: Specifying New Congestion Control Algorithms Document date: 2023-02-17 Group: Individual Submission Pages: 11 URL: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-scheffenegger-congress-rfc5033bis-00.txt Status: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-scheffenegger-congress-rfc5033bis/ Html: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-scheffenegger-congress-rfc5033bis-00.html Htmlized: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-scheffenegger-congress-rfc5033bis Abstract: The IETF's standard congestion control schemes have been widely shown to be inadequate for various environments (e.g., high-speed networks). Recent research has yielded many alternate congestion control schemes that significantly differ from the IETF's congestion control principles. Using these new congestion control schemes in the global Internet has possible ramifications to both the traffic using the new congestion control and to traffic using the currently standardized congestion control. Therefore, the IETF must proceed with caution when dealing with alternate congestion control proposals. The goal of this document is to provide guidance for considering alternate congestion control algorithms within the IETF. The IETF Secretariat
