For the CC-related RFCs, the TCP Roadmap already covers this ground (and
hopefully does so pretty well).  To me it does not seem valuable for the
ICCRG to spend a lot of time rehashing this, or asking participants to
review another, different, book report of this same material.  The
relevent roadmap portions are:
http://oakham.cs.ucl.ac.uk/pipermail/iccrg/2006-March/000064.html

On the other hand, a document that itemizes and describes the more
radical congestion control algorithms would be valuable, and I think the
group should concentrate on this deliverable.  To my knowledge, the only
such algorithms that are currently described in RFCs are HighSpeed
and Limited Slow-Start, so the TCP Roadmap does not even begin to cover
this area.
