[AVTCORE] Fwd: I-D Action: draft-perkins-avtcore-rtp-circuit-breakers-01.txt

This is a minor update only, primarily to update the version of the TCP throughput equation used, and to clarify a few points raised at the last meeting. A more significant update can be expected later in the summer.

> Abstract:
>   The Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) is widely used in telephony,
>   video conferencing, and telepresence applications.  Such applications
>   are often run on best-effort UDP/IP networks.  If congestion control
>   is not implemented in the applications, then network congestion will
>   deteriorate the user's multimedia experience.  This document does not
>   propose a congestion control algorithm; rather, it defines a minimal
>   set of "circuit-breakers".  Circuit-breakers are conditions under
>   which an RTP flow is expected to stop transmiting media to protect
>   the network from excessive congestion.  It is expected that all RTP
>   applications running on best-effort networks will be able to run
>   without triggering these circuit breakers in normal operation.  Any
>   future RTP congestion control specification is expected to operate
>   within the envelope defined by these circuit breakers.
