The following errata report has been submitted for RFC9000, "QUIC: A UDP-Based Multiplexed and Secure Transport".
-------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid8240 -------------------------------------- Type: Technical Reported by: Jaikiran Pai <jai.forums2...@gmail.com> Section: 12.4 Original Text ------------- 0x1c-0x1d CONNECTION_CLOSE Section 19.19 ih01 N Corrected Text -------------- 0x1c-0x1d CONNECTION_CLOSE Section 19.19 ih01 NC Notes ----- QUIC congestion control RFC 9002 (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9002) section 3 states: "The types of frames contained in a packet affect recovery and congestion control logic: ... Packets containing frames besides ACK or CONNECTION_CLOSE frames count toward congestion control limits and are considered to be in flight." So as per RFC-9002, it means that ACK and CONNECTION_CLOSE frames do not contribute to congestion control limits. On the other hand, RFC-9000, section 12.4 has a Table 3 (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9000#frame-types) which states: "The "Spec" column in Table 3 summarizes any special rules governing the processing or generation of the frame type, as indicated by the following characters: ... C: Packets containing only frames with this marking do not count toward bytes in flight for congestion control purposes; see [QUIC-RECOVERY]." However, in that table, the CONNECTION_CLOSE frame isn't marked with the "C" character and only the ACK frame is. This appears to be an oversight in that table in RFC-9000. P.S: I raised this as a question in the QUIC working group mailing list before raising this errata. That mail thread is here https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/quic/aBYUxanWVO-yEQASSxUNGbQQ8Kk/ Instructions: ------------- This erratum is currently posted as "Reported".
