RFC 4336, “Problem Statement for the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol”, is an Informational document published in March 2006 by S. Floyd, M. Handley, E. Kohler. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes for the historical record the motivation behind the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP), an unreliable transport protocol incorporating end-to-end congestion control. DCCP implements a congestion-controlled, unreliable flow of datagrams for use by applications such as streaming media or on-line games. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
