This document describes HyStart++, a simple modification to the slow
start phase of congestion control algorithms. Slow start can
overshoot the ideal send rate in many cases, causing high packet loss
and poor performance. HyStart++ uses increase in round-trip delay as
a heuristic to find an exit point before possible overshoot. It also
adds a mitigation to prevent jitter from causing premature slow start
exit.

This document is a product of the TCP Maintenance and Minor Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

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 Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the

memo is unlimited.
