Abstract

This document proposes an update to the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP), a connection-oriented and datagram-based transport protocol. The update assists DCCP applications that need to traverse middleboxes (e.g. Network Address Translators or firewalls), where peering endpoints need to nearly simultaneously initiate the connection to establish middlebox state required for communication.
