The IESG has received a request from the TCP Maintenance and Minor Extensions
WG (tcpm) to consider the following document: - 'HyStart++: Modified Slow
Start for TCP'
  <draft-ietf-tcpm-hystartplusplus-12.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
last-call@ietf.org mailing lists by 2023-01-25. 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 describes HyStart++, a simple modification to the slow
   start phase of congestion control algorithms.  Traditional slow start
   can overshoot the ideal send rate in many cases, causing high packet
   loss and poor performance.  HyStart++ uses a delay increase heuristic
   to find an exit point before possible overshoot.  It also adds a
   mitigation to prevent jitter from causing premature slow start exit.
