The IESG has received a request from the TCP Maintenance and Minor Extensions WG (tcpm) to consider the following document: - 'A Conservative Selective Acknowledgment (SACK)-based Loss Recovery Algorithm for TCP' <draft-ietf-tcpm-3517bis-02.txt> as a 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 2012-04-11. 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 presents a conservative loss recovery algorithm for TCP that is based on the use of the selective acknowledgment (SACK) TCP option. The algorithm presented in this document conforms to the spirit of the current congestion control specification (RFC 5681), but allows TCP senders to recover more effectively when multiple segments are lost from a single flight of data. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tcpm-3517bis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tcpm-3517bis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
