Hi folks!

Welcome to the TCPM working group.  We look forward to a great working
group.  A few notes as we start off...

  * The TCPM charter is here:

    http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/tcpm-charter.html

  * TCPM will meet in Seoul.  The indication has not yet made it on to
    the final agenda, but TCPM will split the time-slot allocated to
    TSV-WG (Monday; 3:30-5:30).  If you have agenda items that you
    believe fall within TCPM please send requests to us offlist.  If you
    have previously sent requests to Jon and Allison for TSV-WG agenda
    time, but you think TCPM is the more appropriate place please let us
    know that, too.

  * We really need everyone to provide solid and timely review to drafts
    that are posted to the TCPM list for comment.  This is how things
    move along in the IETF and so we need a bunch of help in this area
    from everyone.

    In particular, since we are inheriting some documents from TSV-WG
    that are close to being ready to forward we need to get these things
    reviewed fairly quickly.  (You'll see calls for review for
    individual drafts under seperate cover.)

  * In grepping through the I-D archives we have noted a bunch of drafts
    that are not on the TCPM charter but look to be within the scope of
    TCPM.  If you are the author of such a draft and would like to think
    about moving it through TCPM with us that'd be great -- please send
    us a note.

  * There are two TCP documents that are staying in TSV-WG because WGLC
    has started in that group and introducing a move to a new group may
    hinder progress.  This applies to the Early Retransmit i-d
    (draft-allman-tcp-early-rexmt-03.txt) and the Eifel Response i-d
    (draft-ietf-tsvwg-tcp-eifel-response-04.txt).

Thanks in advance for all your help.  We are looking forward to a great
WG.

Ted & Mark

Hi all,

We submitted a revision of F-RTO draft ("F-RTO: An Algorithm for
Detecting Spurious Retransmission Timeouts with TCP and SCTP",
draft-ietf-tsvwg-tcp-frto-01.txt) under the tsvwg last week. The
draft will be moved under the tcpm wg, and we will resubmit it
with a new name once the draft submission is opened again after Seoul
IETF. We think the draft is ready for WG last call, so please read the
draft and let us know of any comments you may have. The best
place for further discussion on this draft will be under the tcpm
mailing list.

There haven't been much changes on the draft recently. Between
draft-ietf-tsvwg-tcp-frto-00.txt (Oct '03) and
draft-ietf-tsvwg-tcp-frto-01.txt (Feb '04)
the main changes were:

- A number of editorial changes to make the draft more readable

- Rewrote parts of section 4: "Taking Actions after Detecting Spurious
RTO". It earlier listed three examples for responding to spurious
retransmission timeout. Those were removed, because they weren't up to
date with the current versions of refered response algorithms, and we
did not want to keep updating the section in case there are any future
changes on the algorithms. Therefore we now briefly list the known
response algorithms and give references to the I-Ds and papers that
discuss responding to spurious timeout.

And to give some additional context for reviewing the draft, the main
changes in the previous update from
draft-sarolahti-tsvwg-tcp-frto-04.txt (Jun '03) to
draft-ietf-tsvwg-tcp-frto-00.txt were:

- Made the algorithm description more compact by moving much of the
explaining text out of the algorithm definition.

- Added section 5. "SCTP Considerations" that discusses applying the
F-RTO algorithm with SCTP protocol.

- Added a requirement for SACK-based F-RTO algorithm that it would not
be applied when earlier loss recovery is underway. This made it
possible to simplify the algorithm, especially since the usefulness of
detecting spurious RTO under existing loss recovery can be
argued. However, we added Appendix B that discusses this topic.

- Did some editing on examples with different scenarios in Appendix
A to make it more understandable and readable.

Thanks to all who gave us feedback on the topics above!

- Pasi & Markku

> draft-ietf-tsvwg-tcp-frto-01.txt (Feb '04)

I would also like to put on my pointy chair hat for a moment and
encourage folks to read over this draft and send comments to the list.
And, comments of the form "looks good" are also very welcome to help
re-sync everything in the new group.  If you said something previously
in tsvwg and it has not been addressed, please retransmit so that Ted
and I have a good idea about where this draft is at.

Thanks!

allman

Sourabh and I were thinking that it would be useful to have a document
that consolidates all the TCP modifications into a single document. The
roadmap is useful too, but someone who is implementing TCP from scratch
would have a hard time piecing together all the TCP RFCs. Perhaps there
could be an RFC which specifies the current standards track TCP. The RFC
could also have an experimental section.

What do others think?

Armando & Sourabh

I'd like to see not just a layout of the modifications but some additional
emphasis on exactly which ones a tcp should include to be considered "moder=
n"
(SACK + DSACK with proper recovery, timestamps, WS, autotuning, etc).  The
relative importance amongst them might be useful too for people looking to
incrementally hack on existing stacks that don't have them all.  For instan=
ce,
do we want to make window scaling a more important feature than sack suppor=
t.

I agree - I think this would be a good thing.  Also, it would be useful
to mark
what is needed for interoperability and what is needed for 'modernity'
...

Agree. There should be a paragraph or so on each modification discussing 
its usefulness and purpose. However, I don't know how easy it is to 
build a definite list of recommended modern features with a specific 
importance level. Likely the importance depends on the angle of view. 
Some live in environment that would prefer WS more than SACK, some don't.

Maybe there could also a section discussing implementation issues? (or 
is it a different doc?) Sometimes it seems that the biggest challenge is 
not the features current implementations have, but the bugs that may 
cause a useful TCP option to be counterproductive.

This sounds a bit like an applicability statement for the different =

First, let me say that I agree that TCP stuff is just a tangled web of
specs and could be really hard to pick through from scratch.

In fact, I have had several conversations with people about a little
piece of this.  That is, rolling a bunch of the smaller changes into an
rfc2581.bis.  E.g., think of something like limited transmit or larger
initial window.  In the long run, these don't need their own documents
because they are such minor changes.  But, I like the longer document
that really distills the thinking behind it.  So, I think that you are
right on in some cases.

I find myself really wondering what a longer document would buy us.
It'd be damn hard to write and agree on, I bet.  And, it'd be cumbersome
to change -- and, I think one lesson we have learned is that TCP is
always evolving.  So, especially if one puts experimental things into
the document I think it'd be way hard to make that work.  Think about
this... say one wanted to include early retransmit and we have this
mega-doc.  Now we have to open up the document to put in this one
change.  But, while the document is open people want to throw other
things in.  Can they?  Do we now have charter lines that say "open
section X of The TCP Thome only"?  

It seems that if we get the roadmap right and so we can hand someone
that and they can go off and look at other RFCs as appropriate then that
should be a decent path.  And, the roadmap seems light enough that it
could be updated frequently.  E.g., maybe a WG like this one could set a
goal of reving it every year or two for updates.

You say above that this proposed doc would be in addition to the
roadmap.  I'd like to hear why we'd need both?  It seems to me if we
have a mega-spec that would just obviate the need for a roadmap (i.e.,
the roadmap would be the table of contents).

Thanks!
