Hi, anybody interested in implementing this for FreeBSD? Marco ----- Forwarded message from Internet-Drafts@ietf.org ----- From: Internet-Drafts@ietf.org To: IETF-Announce: ; Date: Fri, 14 Jun 2002 07:30:01 -0400 Subject: I-D ACTION:draft-floyd-tcp-highspeed-00.txt,.ps A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : HighSpeed TCP for Large Congestion Windows Author(s) : S. Floyd Filename : draft-floyd-tcp-highspeed-00.txt,.ps Pages : 16 Date : 13-Jun-02 This document proposes HighSpeed TCP, a modification to TCP's congestion control mechanism for use with TCP connections with large congestion windows. The congestion control mechanisms of the current, Standard TCP constrains the congestion windows that can be achieved by TCP in realistic environments. For example, for a Standard TCP connection with 1500-byte packets and a 100 ms round- trip time, achieving a steady-state throughput of 10 Gbps would require an average congestion window of 83,333 segments, and a packet drop rate of at most one congestion event every 5,000,000,000 packet (or equivalently, at most one congestion event every 1 2/3 hours). We do not consider this a realistic condition. To address this limitation of TCP, this document proposes HighSpeed TCP, and solicits experimentation and feedback from the wider community.
