RFC 3155, “End-to-end Performance Implications of Links with Errors”, is a Best Current Practice document published in August 2001 by S. Dawkins, G. Montenegro, M. Kojo, V. Magret, N. Vaidya. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document discusses the specific TCP mechanisms that are problematic in environments with high uncorrected error rates, and discusses what can be done to mitigate the problems without introducing intermediate devices into the connection. This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
What “Best Current Practice” means
Documents the IETF community's recommended operational or procedural practice rather than a protocol specification.
