Panel Agenda
The panel will focus on discussing and agreeing to a set of criteria for deployment of high-speed congestion control algorithms on the Internet. The guidelines outlined in http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-floyd-tsvwg-cc-alt-00.txt could be a starting point for the discussion. The panel can get into questions like a) How is fairness defined? What timescales should fairness be measured? b) is theoretical backing about the stability of the protocol a must? c) Network topologies and traffic mix to test protocols? Is it possible for the research community to agree and publish such a test matrix? d) How are low and high levels of statistical multiplexing on the bottleneck link defined? e) Are some metrics more important than others? f) Should congestion algorithms be tested in isolation from the networking stack? g) do we expect multiple high-speed congestion algorithms to co-exist on the Internet? This might let vendors differentiate themselves as long as the algorithms are safe for deployment.
