Technical Summary
This document describes NADA (network-assisted dynamic adaptation), a
novel congestion control scheme for interactive real-time media
applications, such as video conferencing. In the proposed scheme,
the sender regulates its sending rate based on either implicit or
explicit congestion signaling, in a unified approach. The scheme can
benefit from explicit congestion notification (ECN) markings from
network nodes. It also maintains consistent sender behavior in the
absence of such markings, by reacting to queuing delays and packet
losses instead.
Working Group Summary
The document has been reviewed of the RMCAT WG and there have been no controversial points.
Document Quality
The presented approach was evaluated based on the evaluation criteria
and test cases developed in the RMCAT WG. Results and updates have been
presented at various IETF meetings. The draft was cross-reviewed by the
authors of competing schemes in the working group.
