Subject: WG Review: Transport and Services Working Group (tsvwg)
The Transport and Services Working Group (tsvwg) WG in the Transport Area of
the IETF is undergoing rechartering. The IESG has not made any determination
yet. The following draft charter was submitted, and is provided for
informational purposes only. Please send your comments to the IESG mailing
list (iesg@ietf.org) by 2023-12-11.

Charter: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/charter-ietf-tsvwg/
The Transport and Services Working Group (TSVWG) is the forum for development
and publication of RFCs dealing with transport layer topics that are not in
scope of an existing working group or do not justify the formation of a new
working group.
A non-exhaustive list of transport topics includes mechanisms that deal with
packetization and reassembly, ports, maximum transmission unit discovery,
reordering, congestion control, loss detection and recovery, queue
management, explicit congestion notification, multihoming, stream
multiplexing, and quality of service (including DSCP and RSVP).
Transport-layer protocols include TCP, QUIC, SCTP, UDP, and DCCP. TSVWG
maintains these protocols and mechanisms in the absence of a specialized
working group.
The TSVWG mailing list is an open discussion forum for such work items, when
they arise. The working group meets if there are active proposals that
require discussion. The working group milestones are updated as needed to
reflect the current work items and their associated milestones, with the
approval of the responsible AD.
The currently active TSVWG work items mostly fall under the following topics:
(A) Maintenance and extension of the Stream Control Transmission Protocol
(SCTP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and Datagram Congestion Control
Protocol (DCCP), as these do not have dedicated working groups.
(B) Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN), as the working group improves
existing directives for tunnelling and observes the recently launched
experiment with Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput (L4S).
(C) Maintenance of IP Differentiated Services (DiffServ) mechanisms, which
involves mostly advisory documents on the use of DiffServ in specific
application scenarios. Other work items related to DiffServ require Area
Director approval.
Work in TSVWG must satisfy four conditions:
(1) WG consensus on the suitability and projected quality of the proposed
work item. (2) A core group of WG participants with sufficient energy and
expertise to advance the work item according to the proposed schedule. (3)
Commitment from the WG as a whole to provide sufficient and timely review
of the proposed work item. (4) Agreement by the AD, who, depending on the
scope of the proposed work item, may decide that an IESG review of adoption
is needed first.
Milestones:
Done - Submit 'Guidelines for Adding Congestion Notification to
Protocols that Encapsulate IP' as a BCP RFC
Done - Submit 'Propagating Explicit Congestion Notification Across IP
Tunnel Headers Separated by a Shim' as a Proposed Standard RFC
Dec 2023 - Submit " Transport Options for UDP" as a Proposed Standard RFC
Dec 2023 - Submit "Datagram PLPMTUD for UDP Options" for publication as a
Proposed Standard RFC.
Dec 2023 - Submit "A Non-Queue-Building Per-Hop Behavior (NQB PHB) for
Differentiated Services" as a Proposed Standard RFC
Dec 2023 - Submit "User Ports for Experiments " for publication as a
Proposed Standard RFC.
Dec 2023 - Submit " DCCP Extensions for Multipath Operation with Multiple
Addresses" as an Proposed Standard RFC
Mar 2024 - Submit "DTLS over SCTP" as a Proposed Standard RFC
Jul 2024 - Submit "Careful convergence of congestion control from retained
state" for publication as a Proposed Standard RFC.
Nov 2024 - Submit "Operational Guidance for Deployment of L4S in the
Internet" as an Informational RFC
