The IESG has approved the following document: - 'TCP Usage Guidance in the Internet of Things (IoT)' (draft-ietf-lwig-tcp-constrained-node-networks-13.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the Light-Weight Implementation Guidance Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Erik Kline and Éric Vyncke. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lwig-tcp-constrained-node-networks/ Technical Summary This document provides guidance on how to implement and use the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) in Constrained-Node Networks (CNNs, defined in RFC7228), which are a characterstic of the Internet of Things (IoT). Such environments require a lightweight TCP implementation and may not make use of optional functionality. This document explains a number of known and deployed techniques to simplify a TCP stack as well as corresponding tradeoffs. The objective is to help embedded developers with decisions on which TCP features to use. Working Group Summary Nothing noteworthy. Document Quality This document is not a protocol specification, and it intends to provide guidance on how to implement and configure TCP stack, as well as on how TCP is advisable to be used by applications. This document has been reviewed thoroughly by the experts in both LWIG and TCPM working groups during the WGLC. Markku Kojo, a long-time IETF transport expert, has provided a thorough review. Many others provided comments which have been reflected in the current version of this draft. Personnel Shepherd: Zhen Cao Responsible AD: Erik Kline
