Handley, S. Floyd, J. Padhye, J. Widmer 8 Status: Standards Track 9 Date: January 2003 10 Mailbox: mjh@icir.org, floyd@icir.org, 11 padhye@microsoft.com, 12 widmer@informatik.uni-mannheim.de 13 Pages: 24 14 Characters: 52657 15 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None 17 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-tsvwg-tfrc-05.txt 19 URL: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3448.txt 21 This document specifies TCP-Friendly Rate Control (TFRC). TFRC is a 22 congestion control mechanism for unicast flows 23 operating in a best-effort Internet environment. It is 24 reasonably fair when competing for bandwidth with TCP flows, 25 but has a much lower variation of throughput over time 26 compared with TCP, making it more suitable for applications 27 such as telephony or streaming media where a relatively smooth 28 sending rate is of importance. 30 This document is a product of the Transport Area Working Group of the 31 IETF. 33 This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. 35 This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for 36 the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions 37 for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the 38 "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the 39 standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution 40 of this memo is unlimited. 42 This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list. 43 Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list 44 should be sent to IETF-REQUEST@IETF.ORG. Requests to be 45 added to or deleted from the RFC-DIST distribution list should 46 be sent to RFC-DIST-REQUEST@RFC-EDITOR.ORG. 48 Details on obtaining RFCs via FTP or EMAIL may be obtained by sending 49 an EMAIL message to rfc-info@RFC-EDITOR.ORG with the message body 50 help: ways_to_get_rfcs.
