Abstract:
   This informational memo describes Datacenter TCP (DCTCP), a TCP
   congestion control scheme for datacenter traffic.  DCTCP extends the
   Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) processing to estimate the
   fraction of bytes that encounter congestion, rather than simply
   detecting that some congestion has occurred.  DCTCP then scales the
   TCP congestion window based on this estimate.  This method achieves
   high burst tolerance, low latency, and high throughput with shallow-
   buffered switches.  This memo also discusses deployment issues
   related to the coexistence of DCTCP and conventional TCP, the lack of
   a negotiating mechanism between sender and receiver, and presents
   some possible mitigations.  This memo documents DCTCP as currently
   implemented by several major operating systems.  DCTCP as described
   in this draft is applicable to deployments in controlled environments
   like datacenters but it must not be deployed over the public Internet
   without additional measures.
