Dear list, given the recent data by Pete Heist and Jonathan Morton, it seems that the combination of TCP Prague and DualQ introduce a level of RTT bias not seen before in the internet, including noticeably stronger suppression of long-RTT Prague throughput by short RTT Prague. Under that perspective it is clear that L4S does not at all "reduce or eliminate RTT bias" but makes the situation considerably worse. Allowing that behavior to stand, by changing the requirement to Bob's proposal below is IMHO not acceptable, unless our goal in the WG is to built a fast priority lane for short-RTT flows at the expense of everything else, like long-RTT flows or god-forbid non TCP Prague flows. The proposed rationale " there is no need to mandate that an L4S implementer does no harm to themselves" is problematic, if L4S and L4S-compliant transport protocols are intended as replacement for traditional CCs, as we clearly would turn the internet into a mostly short range affair. I have claimed in the past that RTT bias is an unavoidable consequence of differential "reaction times" for control loops at different delays, so I always was critical of the "reduce or eliminate RTT bias" mandate, but I believe firmly that a "do not make RTT (considerably) bias worse" than it is today should be a non-negotiable MUST requirement for any L4S-compliant transport.

So there is no need to mandate that an L4S implementer does no harm to themselves, which window-based congestion controls tend to do at higher RTT. Of course, this doesn't preclude implementers reducing or eliminating RTT bias for larger than typical RTTs, but it removes any requirement to do so. > > Cheers > > > Bob > > -- > ________________________________________________________________ > Bob Briscoe > http://bobbriscoe.net/
