[e2e] TFRC vs UDP

[Syed Faisal Hasan]

To whom it may concern,

TFRC was designed for use by the Continuous Media (CM) applications. But why 
will a CM application which is performing well using UDP, use TFRC if there 
is performance gap (more latency, less number of packets transmitted in the 
same time, high rate fluctuations in the beginning) betwen UDP and TFRC ? 
May be thats the reason we haven't seen any applicatons using TFRC. On the 
other hand there is no (I haven't found) research which analyzes the 
performance difference between UDP and TFRC. It is clear that TFRC will not 
perform exactly like UDP ( due to TFRC's friendliness with TCP), but how 
much can we expect from TFRC?
