Datagram Congestion Control Protocol
RFC 4340, “Datagram Congestion Control Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2006 by E. Kohler, M. Handley, S. Floyd. It has since been updated by RFC 5595, RFC 5596, RFC 6335, RFC 6773. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) is a transport protocol that provides bidirectional unicast connections of congestion-controlled unreliable datagrams. DCCP is suitable for applications that transfer fairly large amounts of data and that can benefit from control over the tradeoff between timeliness and reliability. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
