[Iccrg] List of CC RFCs and Internet-drafts

[[e-mail] (Michael Welzl)]

Dear all,

At last, here are the RFC and Internet-draft references from
my book that are related to congestion control but not TCP
specifications.

I skipped everything that is related to traffic engineering
and QoS although this is also about handling traffic, albeit
on a different time scale and perhaps with a human
controller  :)   Seriously, depending on how broad we want
the document to be, some of these things could be looked
at - for instance, RFC 2990 contains some text about TCP
interactions with QoS elements.

I hope I didn't miss anything important. Note that the list
is from February / March 2005, which is when I submitted
the manuscript. I updated the draft references, but some
relevant ones are surely missing -
draft-ietf-tsvwg-ecn-alternates-00.txt, for example,
and also the IRTF draft draft-irtf-tmrg-metrics-01.txt.


Well, it's only a starting point - I hope the list is useful.

Cheers,
Michael
