> The IAB and IRTF will hold a workshop on Congestion Control for Interactive Real-Time Communication" in Vancouver, Canada on Saturday, July 28th, 2012 prior to the IETF-84 meeting (see http://www.ietf.org/meeting/84/index.html).  Participation at the workshop is free of charge. There is no requirement to either register with or attend the IETF-84 meeting that follows the workshop.
>  
> The workshop organizers would like to foster a discussion on:
> What are appropriate congestion signals to use for interactive media and data?
> What existing congestion control algorithms are appropriate for interactive media and data? What properties would be desirable in new congestion control algorithms?
> Measurement and/or simulations of new congestion signals (e.g., delay-based) and their interaction with existing congestion control mechanisms.
> What are good available techniques for adjusting sending rates for interactive media and data? What are the limits of those techniques? What properties would be desirable in new techniques?
> What application-specific considerations have to be taken into account?
> How can we ensure that real-time communications are well-behaved with respect to other Internet applications while still providing good quality?
> What should the IETF and/or IRTF do?
> The organizers seek position papers on any or all of these topics, as well as other topics related to congestion control for interactive realtime media.
>  
> Every prospective workshop participant must submit a position paper containing a name and an email address. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to the workshop. Papers up to 3 pages, formatted in HTML, PDF, or plain text (for example, as a submitted Internet-Draft) are ideal. Accepted position papers will be published.  Additional details about the meeting venue will be provided to authors of accepted papers.
