This repository hosts various resources about L4S, and the existing implementations.

See the general L4S Landing Page for various resources around L4S.

Components

All various components required to test L4S are under a common Github umbrella. In particular:

Linux kernel containing the necessary patches enabling TCP prague and the dualpi2 qdisc. The repository also provides pre-packaged debian binaries to ease up experimentation.
iproute2 user-space utilities to manage the dualpi2 qdisc and query the TCP Prague statistics.
GUI (l4sdemo) that enables to dynamically interact with a testbed, visualising per-packet latencies, … as well as support script to automate more in-depth testing.
l4steam.github.io, the web interface for this repository with links to main components, current status (Feb 2021) of Prague implementations and experiments.
SCReAM, a mobile optimized congestion control algorithm which supports L4S.

Prague requirements Compliance

The IETF draft-ietf-tsvwg-ecn-l4s-id contains a list of requirements an L4S congestion control should comply with. The following template document provides a checklist to the different normative paragraphs listed in draft-ietf-tsvwg-ecn-l4s-id-12:

This list of requirements is still being discussed and finetuned. Consensus on feasibility, performance and usefulness needs to be reached. The following contributions, grouped in (partial) available implementations and potential/planned implementations will be taken into account for that purpose.
