This document specifies receiver-driven Low Extra Delay Background Transport (rLEDBAT) -- a set of mechanisms that enable the execution of a less-than-best-effort congestion control algorithm for TCP at the receiver end. This document is a product of the Internet Congestion Control Research Group (ICCRG) of the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF).
