[Iccrg] SSDT Scope

[Murari Sridharan]

I have heard two sets of complaints about slow start; one its too slow, in the sense for connections that usually never get out of slow start and are latency sensitive need something faster. Proposals; second is nto really a customer complaint per-se but not good behavior in general, which is that slow start doubles rate before it hits a loss and this overshooting of buffer should be avoided if we can detect it.

Now the first problem is already addressed to some extent by proposals like Limited Slowstart, QuickStart etc . is SSDT's goal to improve those solutions?

On Michael's advise, I am re-sending this message to the ICCRG mailing list.

Hello people interested in Slow Start.
The first discussion is about the scope of the SSDT group. A good starting point is to list what people have experienced as incovenient behavior of slow start. Once we agree on what to address, we can scope the objectives/goals of the SSDT group.

Our "pain points" are:

- multiple segment losses in high bandwidth delay product networks, when SS opens the cwnd to a large value right before transitioning from SS to CA. This typically causes multiple RTOs...
- Unfairness with different session RTTs.

Feel free to add yours.
Dirceu

Greetings Michael and Lars,

An advantage of separate mailing lists is that it allows people set up
filters for the mail clients.  That could also be done by asking
people to put a keyword in their email subjects (like slowstartDT).

FWIW, I'm unlikely to subscribe to the DT mailing lists, but wouldn't
mind extra traffic on  iccrg at ...

Cheers,
Lachlan
