Description of Working Group:

No description available


Goals and Milestones:

  Done         Submit design-space, building-blocks, and guidelines drafts for
               publication as Informational RFCs

  Done         Initial Drafts for the following building blocks: negative
               acknowledgments, forward error correction, a generic signaling
               mechanism for router assist, and transport protection

  Done         Submit Initial Drafts for the two protocol instantiations.

  Done         Submit Initial Draft for Congestion Control

  Done         Complete building-block drafts WG Last-Call and submit for
               publication as Proposed Standard

  Done         Complete building blocks and protocol instantiations for ALC
               and submit for publication as Experimental RFC

  Done         WG Decision on whether to pursue the router-assist building
               block work. These milestones may have to be modified
               accordingly

  Done         Submit WEBRC (congestion control building block) for
               publication as Experimental

  Done         Submit NACK building block and protocol instantiation for
               publication as Experimental

  Done         Evaluate when and how the RMT Experimental specifications will
               be submitted for publication as Proposed Standard, and update
               this charter accordingly

  Sep 2005       Submit remaining congestion control building blocks (TFMCC,
               PGMCC) for publication as Experimental

  Dec 2005       Submit all the RMT Eperimental Specifications published before
               July 05 for publication as Proposed Standard

  Apr 2006       Submit all remaining RMT Eperimental Specifications for
               publication as Proposed Standard
