RMCAT-ers, At the fairness design team mtg this morning, I promised to send this list of RFCs & docs to the list. If you want to cut to the chase, jump over the pre-history and read from RFC5033 onwards. RFCs that specify best current practice, guidelines and principles for designers of congestion control: - the `Gateway Congestion Control Survey' [<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1254>RFC1254], - recommendations on AQM [<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2309>RFC2309], - `Congestion Control Principles' [<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2914>RFC2914], - `General Architectural and Policy Considerations' [<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3426>RFC3426] - IAB Concerns Regarding Congestion Control for Voice Traffic [<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3714>RFC3714]; RFCs that recommend how new transport protocols should interact with existing ones: - recommendations on AQM [<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2309>RFC2309], - Criteria for Evaluating Reliable Multicast Transports [<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2357>RFC2357], - `Congestion Control Principles' [<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2914>RFC2914] and - Guidelines for new RTP profiles [<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3550>RFC3550] ________________ VVV _____skip to here if in a hurry _____ VVV ______ - Specifying New Congestion Control Algorithms [<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5033>RFC5033] Individual contributions (that led to RFC5033) - Flow Rate Fairness: Dismantling a Religion [<http://tools.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-briscoe-tsvarea-fair-02.pdf>draft-briscoe-tsvarea-fair-02.pdf] - Problem Statement: Transport Protocols Don't Have To Do Fairness [<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-briscoe-tsvwg-relax-fairness>draft-briscoe-tsvwg-relax-fairness] - Comments on the Usefulness of Simple Best-Effort Traffic [<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5290>RFC5290] Fairness Metrics - ConEx Concepts & Use Cases [<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6789>RFC6789] Manifests of RFCs relevant to Fairness & Congestion Control: - http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-briscoe-tsvarea-fair-02#section-9 - Congestion Control in the RFC Series [<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5783>RFC5783] Bob ________________________________________________________________ Bob Briscoe, BT
