The IESG has received a request from the TCP Maintenance and Minor Extensions WG (tcpm) to consider the following document: - 'HyStart++: Modified Slow Start for TCP' <draft-ietf-tcpm-hystartplusplus-12.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2023-01-25. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes HyStart++, a simple modification to the slow start phase of congestion control algorithms. Traditional slow start can overshoot the ideal send rate in many cases, causing high packet loss and poor performance. HyStart++ uses a delay increase heuristic to find an exit point before possible overshoot. It also adds a mitigation to prevent jitter from causing premature slow start exit. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tcpm-hystartplusplus/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
