Hi,
I would like to inform that currently TSVWG has started the WG last call
on "UDP Usage Guidelines for Application Designers"
(draft-ietf-tsvwg-udp-guidelines-06) with the intended status of BCP. It
runs until the 21st of April. If you like to provide any comments please
send them to the TSVWG mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
Abstract:
The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) provides a minimal, message-passing
transport that has no inherent congestion control mechanisms.
Because congestion control is critical to the stable operation of the
Internet, applications and upper-layer protocols that choose to use
UDP as an Internet transport must employ mechanisms to prevent
congestion collapse and establish some degree of fairness with
concurrent traffic. This document provides guidelines on the use of
UDP for the designers of such applications and upper-layer protocols.
Congestion control guidelines are a primary focus, but the document
also provides guidance on other topics, including message sizes,
reliability, checksums and middlebox traversal.
