Re: Transport control API

Stefan,

     Duly noted, but I'm sure I'll have anything to add in this list. 
They seem to be discussing very low-level details and all I'm saying is 
that (at a high-level) our goal should be to ramp up much faster.

     Where do I request that WebRTC 1.0's goal should be to ramp up to 
1080p within (say) 10 seconds? I just want that noted somewhere, but I 
won't be the one to champion the actual technical details. I assume 
whoever is technically knowledgeable in this area can then bring up 
these requirements at IETF RMCAT and evaluate proposals.

How HTTP/TCP download rates behave at the start-up depend at least on the number of TCP connections used, TCP's initial congestion window size (used to be 3 segments, now often more), and the RTT. 3 seconds contains a lot of RTTs on your LAN, but not so many between hosts on different continents.
