Hi,

I understand that the current spec does not impose congestion control parameters.
That being said, some default parameters/algorithm should be included in the standard because TCP end-to-end is not QUIC end-to-end.
There are some strange wireless links out there and QUIC congestion control may deserve some more specified values in the standard.

I am not sure whether the proposal in "draft-fairhurst-quic-ack-scaling-02" is the best solution, but this approach clearly help asymmetric wireless networks and does not impact much symmetrical ones.
What does the group think about including this in the standard ?

Cheers,

Nicolas
