Title: TCP Usage Guidance in the Internet of Things (IoT) Author: C. Gomez, J. Crowcroft, M. Scharf Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: March 2021 Mailbox: carle...@entel.upc.edu, jon.crowcr...@cl.cam.ac.uk, michael.sch...@hs-esslingen.de Pages: 24 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-lwig-tcp-constrained-node-networks-13.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc9006 DOI: 10.17487/RFC9006 This document provides guidance on how to implement and use the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) in Constrained-Node Networks (CNNs), which are a characteristic of the Internet of Things (IoT). Such environments require a lightweight TCP implementation and may not make use of optional functionality. This document explains a number of known and deployed techniques to simplify a TCP stack as well as corresponding trade-offs. The objective is to help embedded developers with decisions on which TCP features to use. This document is a product of the Light-Weight Implementation Guidance Working Group of the IETF.
