The transport area directors are sad to have learnt of the passing of Sally Floyd. Sally was a key contributor to the transport area for many years. Her contributions cover TCP improvements, e.g. SACK, congestion control principles, TCP-Friendly Rate Control, Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN), and the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP), and the usage of network simulations to verify protocol design. She made many contributions to the IETF, the IRTF, and was a member of the IAB.
We remembers her as a gentle person, always well-spoken. Her simulations and testing of her proposals inspired to professionalism, to think things through, simulate, test and investigate. Our thoughts are with her family and friends that lost her, and she will be missed by many of us. Magnus Westerlund and Mirja Kühlewind
