Abstract:
   Recent Active Queue Management (AQM) mechanisms allow for burst
   tolerance while enforcing short queues to minimise the time that
   packets spend enqueued at a bottleneck.  This can cause noticeable
   performance degradation for TCP connections traversing such a
   bottleneck, especially if they are only a few or their bandwidth-
   delay-product is large.  An Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN)
   signal indicates that an AQM mechanism is used at the bottleneck, and
   therefore the bottleneck network queue is likely to be short.  This
   document therefore proposes an update to the TCP sender-side ECN
   reaction in congestion avoidance to reduce the Congestion Window
   (cwnd) by a smaller amount than the congestion control algorithm's
   reaction to inferred packet loss.
