The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Increasing TCP's Initial Window' <draft-ietf-tsvwg-initwin-04.txt> as a Proposed Standard, obsoleting RFC 2414. This document also updates RFC 2598. This document is the product of the Transport Area Working Group Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Allison Mankin and Scott Bradner. Technical Summary This document specifies an optional increase in the permitted initial window for TCP from two segments to roughly 4K bytes. It discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the higher initial window, and includes discussion of experiments and simulations show that the higher initial window does not lead to congestion collapse. The specification provides guidance on some implementation issues. The conclusion is drawn that this small change to TCP "will likely be beneficial to short-lived TCP connections and those over links with long RTTs (saving several RTTs during the initial slow-start phase)." Working Group Summary The specified TCP change is almost entirely the same as that of RFC 2414, which was published experimentally. The determination to move to standards track followed on review of the results after RFC 2414. The working group supported the advancement of the document, and no issues were raised during IETF Last Call. Protocol Quality This document was reviewed for the IESG by Allison Mankin. _______________________________________________ tsvwg mailing list tsvwg@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tsvwg
