Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   Introducing new or modified congestion control algorithms in the
   global Internet has possible ramifications to both the flows using
   the proposed congestion control algorithms and to flows using a
   standardized congestion control algorithm.  Therefore, the IETF must
   proceed with caution when evaluating proposals for alternate
   congestion control.  The goal of this document is to provide guidance
   for considering standardization of a proposed congestion control
   algorithm at the IETF.  It obsoletes RFC5033 to reflect changes in
   the congestion control landscape.

   The document reached broad agreement in the Working Group.
