| 10 | CCID 2, TCP-like Congestion Control, denotes Additive Increase, |
| 11 | Multiplicative Decrease (AIMD) congestion control with behavior |
| 12 | modelled directly on TCP, including congestion window, slow start, |
| 13 | timeouts, and so forth [RFC 2581]. CCID 2 achieves maximum |
| 14 | bandwidth over the long term, consistent with the use of end-to-end |
| 15 | congestion control, but halves its congestion window in response to |
| 16 | each congestion event. This leads to the abrupt rate changes |
| 17 | typical of TCP. Applications should use CCID 2 if they prefer |
| 18 | maximum bandwidth utilization to steadiness of rate. This is often |
| 19 | the case for applications that are not playing their data directly |
| 20 | to the user. For example, a hypothetical application that |
| 21 | transferred files over DCCP, using application-level retransmissions |
| 22 | for lost packets, would prefer CCID 2 to CCID 3. On-line games may |
| 23 | also prefer CCID 2. |

| 46 | CCID 3 denotes TCP-Friendly Rate Control (TFRC), an equation-based |
| 47 | rate-controlled congestion control mechanism. TFRC is designed to |
| 48 | be reasonably fair when competing for bandwidth with TCP-like flows, |
| 49 | where a flow is "reasonably fair" if its sending rate is generally |
| 50 | within a factor of two of the sending rate of a TCP flow under the |
| 51 | same conditions. However, TFRC has a much lower variation of |
| 52 | throughput over time compared with TCP, which makes CCID 3 more |
| 53 | suitable than CCID 2 for applications such streaming media where a |
| 54 | relatively smooth sending rate is of importance. |
