The IESG has received a request from the Transport Area Working Group WG (tsvwg) to consider the following document: - 'SACK-IMMEDIATELY Extension for the Stream Control Transmission Protocol' <draft-ietf-tsvwg-sctp-sack-immediately-03.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2013-08-26. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document updates RFC 4960 by defining a method for the sender of a DATA chunk to indicate that the corresponding SACK chunk should be sent back immediately and not be delayed. It is done by specifying a bit in the DATA chunk header, called the I-bit, which can get set either by the SCTP implementation or by the application using an SCTP stack. Since unknown flags in chunk headers are ignored by SCTP implementations, this extension does not introduce any interoperability problems. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tsvwg-sctp-sack-immediately/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tsvwg-sctp-sack-immediately/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
