[R-C] Modular Congestion Control in rtcweb

[Luca De Cicco]

Dear all,

this mail follows a thread I've recently started at rtcweb at ietf.org.
and moved to this mailing list following Harald's suggestion.

Since congestion control is a fundamental building block
for a multimedia communication framework such as webrtc,
I think it makes sense to design the framework to allow
using different congestion control algorithms such as it is
done with audio/video codecs.

Are there any plans to make the congestion control algorithm
modular for multimedia transmission via PeerConnections?

This would require the peers to select a particular congestion
control algorithm at the establishment of the PeerConnection
similarly to how the DCCP [1] protocol does at kernel level.

Best regards,
