Abstract:
This document specifies TCP Friendly Rate Control (TFRC). TFRC is a congestion
control mechanism for unicast flows operating in a best-effort Internet environment. It is reasonably fair
when competing for bandwidth with TCP flows, but has a much lower variation of throughput
over time compared with TCP, making it more suitable for applications such as
streaming media where a relatively smooth sending rate is of importance.
