A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the TCP Maintenance and Minor Extensions Working Group of the IETF. Title : Improving the robustness of TCP to Non-Congestion Events. Author(s) : S. Bhandarkar, A. Reddy Filename : draft-ietf-tcpm-tcp-dcr-00.txt Pages : 16 Date : 2004-4-15 This document proposes TCP-DCR, a simple modification to the TCP congestion control algorithm to make it more robust to non-congestion events. In the absence of explicit notification from the network, the TCP congestion control algorithm treats the receipt of three duplicate acknowledgements as an indication of congestion in the network. This is not always correct, notably so in wireless networks with channel errors or networks prone to excessive packet reordering, resulting in degraded performance. TCP-DCR aims to remedy this by delaying the congestion response of TCP for a short interval of time tau, thereby creating room to handle any non-congestion events that may have occurred. If at the end of the delay tau, the event is not handled, then it is treated as a congestion loss. The modifications themselves do not handle the non-congestion event, but rather rely on some underlying mechanism to do this. This document discusses the implications of delaying congestion response on the fairness, TCP- compatibility and network dynamics, and the benefits to be gained by applying the TCP-DCR modifications to TCP.

You can also visit https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/I-D-announce to change your subscription settings. Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-ietf-tcpm-tcp-dcr-00.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tcpm-tcp-dcr-00.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
