[saag] TSVWG last call on "UDP Usage Guidelines for Application Designers" to BCP

[Magnus Westerlund <magnus.westerlund at ericsson.com>]

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 (tsvwg at ietf.org).

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.
