A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 8836 Title: Congestion Control Requirements for Interactive Real-Time Media Author: R. Jesup, Z. Sarker, Ed. Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: January 2021 Mailbox: randell-ietf@jesup.org, Zaheduzzaman.Sarker@ericsson.com Pages: 10 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-rmcat-cc-requirements-09.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8836 DOI: 10.17487/RFC8836 Congestion control is needed for all data transported across the Internet, in order to promote fair usage and prevent congestion collapse. The requirements for interactive, point-to-point real-time multimedia, which needs low-delay, semi-reliable data delivery, are different from the requirements for bulk transfer like FTP or bursty transfers like web pages. Due to an increasing amount of RTP-based real-time media traffic on the Internet (e.g., with the introduction of the Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC)), it is especially important to ensure that this kind of traffic is congestion controlled. This document describes a set of requirements that can be used to evaluate other congestion control mechanisms in order to figure out their fitness for this purpose, and in particular to provide a set of possible requirements for a real-time media congestion avoidance technique. This document is a product of the RTP Media Congestion Avoidance Techniques Working Group of the IETF. INFORMATIONAL: This memo provides information for the Internet community.
