A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 5348 Title: TCP Friendly Rate Control (TFRC): Protocol Specification Author: S. Floyd, M. Handley, J. Padhye, J. Widmer Status: Standards Track Date: September 2008 Mailbox: floyd@icir.org, M.Handley@cs.ucl.ac.uk, padhye@microsoft.com, widmer@acm.org Pages: 58 Characters: 133185 Obsoletes: RFC3448 Updates: RFC4342 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-dccp-rfc3448bis-06.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5348.txt This document specifies TCP Friendly Rate Control (TFRC). TFRC is a congestion control mechanism for unicast flows operating in a best-effort Internet environment. It is reasonably fair when competing for bandwidth with TCP flows, but has a much lower variation of throughput over time compared with TCP, making it more suitable for applications such as streaming media where a relatively smooth sending rate is of importance. This document obsoletes RFC 3448 and updates RFC 4342. [STANDARDS TRACK] This document is a product of the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
