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

| CCID 3 denotes TCP-Friendly Rate Control (TFRC), an equation-based | |
| rate-controlled congestion control mechanism. TFRC is designed to | |
| be reasonably fair when competing for bandwidth with TCP-like flows, | |
| where a flow is "reasonably fair" if its sending rate is generally | |
| within a factor of two of the sending rate of a TCP flow under the | |
| same conditions. However, TFRC has a much lower variation of | |
| throughput over time compared with TCP, which makes CCID 3 more | |
| suitable than CCID 2 for applications such streaming media where a | |
| relatively smooth sending rate is of importance. | |
| CCID 3 is further described in: | |
| http://www.icir.org/kohler/dccp/draft-ietf-dccp-ccid3-11.txt. | |
| The TFRC congestion control algorithms were initially described in | |
| RFC 3448. | |
