TCP congestion control is based on the assumption that the end-to-end path
of a connection changes only insignificantly after connection
establishment. Network layer mobility protocols that change a connection's
point of attachment transparently to the transport layer may violate this
assumption and cause TCP to make congestion control decisions based on
invalid information. This document describes a TCP option that allows a
connection endpoint to inform a peer when it changes location. This
document also outlines the proper congestion control behavior that should
take place in the face of such network layer mobility.
