Actually added in version 13:
Changed the C-mode/D-mode selection rules in Section 4.3.3 to make the use of
C-mode a SHOULD unless capacity can be explicitly engineered. Also added a
reference to this fact in the rate control section, Section 5.3.3.
In 4.3.3:
o congestion control: D-mode SHOULD NOT be used for signalling where
it is possible to set up routing state and use C-mode, unless the
network can be engineered to guarantee capacity for D-mode traffic
within the rate control limits imposed by GIST (see
Section 5.3.3).
(it used to just be a 'MAY' to benefit from congestion control)
At the end of 5.3.3:
... Note
that, according to the rules of Section 4.3.3, in general D-mode
SHOULD only be used for Queries and Responses rather than normal
signalling traffic. |
