IETF conflict review for draft-irtf-iccrg-ledbat-plus-plus
conflict-review-irtf-iccrg-ledbat-plus-plus-00

The IESG has concluded that this work is related to IETF work done in WG CCWG,
but this relationship does not prevent publishing.

COMMENT

LEDBAT++ is a sender-side algorithm  for CC. It specifies a set of enhancements
to the LEDBAT (Low Extra Delay Background Transport) congestion control
algorithm for TCP, with experience from one implementation. This work is a
product of ICCRG and is proposed as an Experimental RFC. This is a successor to
LEDBAT, RFC 6817,  itself an Experimental RFC, which was a product of the Low
Extra Delay Background Transport (ledbat) working group.

LEDBAT++  was adopted by ICCRG in 2020, and the ICCRG Charter
(https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/charter-irtf-iccrg/) permits ICCRG to publish
“Experimental or Informational RFCs”. Rledbat, [RFC 9840] was also published by
ICCRG.

Note:
This ICCRG work item precedes the creation of the IETF CC WG which will focus
on Standards-track CC. Algorithms proposed for Experimental status can now be
in scope for CCWG (in consultation with ICCRG, based on an assessment of their
maturity and likelihood of near-term wide-scale deployment). This does not
prevent publication of LEDBAT++ by ICCRG.
