Dear all,
We would like to give time to the Transport Area to discuss any
potential need to evolve the IETF transport protocols.
There are a number of proposals discussed in the IETF and outside of the
IETF on changing parts of TCP (e.g. laminar TCP [1]), reusing parts of
TCP (e.g., TCP Minion [2]), completely new transport protocols (e.g.
QUIC [3]), and also discussions about the congestion control approach to
be used (e.g., delay-based [4], LEDBAT [5]).
(We are fully aware that this list of proposals is incomplete)
Spencer and I are planning a slot in the TSVAREA session at IETF 88 in
Vancouver to discuss this topic.
More information to come soon.
Let Spencer and me know at [email protected] if you are interested
in contributing actively to the session.
Thanks,
Spencer and Martin, your TSV ADs.
