[Bloat] TCP congestion detection - random thoughts

[Ingemar Johansson S]

Hi

FYI SCReAM (Self-Clocked Rate Adaptation for Multimedia) is an offspring of the LEDBAT algorithm
http://tools.ietf.org/wg/rmcat/draft-ietf-rmcat-scream-cc/ 
The congestion control part of SCReAM is designed to be a tad more opportunistic than LEDBAT, the reason to this is that the source in this case is a rate adaptive video encoder.
