Section 7, pg.30 says:
<< second paragraph of section, at the bottom of pg. 30 >> The main advantage of a sender-based variant of TFRC is that the sender does not have to trust the receiver's calculation of the packet loss rate. However, with the requirement of reliable delivery of loss information from the receiver to the sender, a sender-based | TFRC would have much tighter constraints on the transport protocol in which it is embedded.
It should say:
The main advantage of a sender-based variant of TFRC is that the sender does not have to trust the receiver's calculation of the packet loss rate. However, with the requirement of reliable delivery of loss information from the receiver to the sender, a sender-based | TFRC has much tighter constraints on the transport protocol in which it is embedded.
Notes:
Rationale:
Consistency in style broken by incomplete change since
RFC 3448; present tense is now used in the first sentence;
so it should be used in the second one as well, for clarity.
