This can cause noticeable performance degradation for TCP connections traversing such a bottleneck, especially if they are only a few or their bandwidth- delay-product is large. An Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) signal indicates that an AQM mechanism is used at the bottleneck, and therefore the bottleneck network queue is likely to be short. This document therefore proposes an update to the TCP sender-side ECN reaction in congestion avoidance to reduce the Congestion Window (cwnd) by a smaller amount than the congestion control algorithm's reaction to loss.}, }
