Network-Assisted Dynamic Adaptation : A Unified Congestion Control Scheme for Real-Time Media

Overview

RFC 8698, “Network-Assisted Dynamic Adaptation : A Unified Congestion Control Scheme for Real-Time Media”, is an Experimental document published in February 2020 by X. Zhu, R. Pan, M. Ramalho, S. Mena. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document describes Network-Assisted Dynamic Adaptation (NADA), a novel congestion control scheme for interactive real-time media applications such as video conferencing. In the proposed scheme, the sender regulates its sending rate, based on either implicit or explicit congestion signaling, in a unified approach. The scheme can benefit from Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) markings from network nodes. It also maintains consistent sender behavior in the absence of such markings by reacting to queuing delays and packet losses instead.
