This document describes "Trickle ICE", an extension to the
Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) protocol that enables
ICE agents to begin connectivity checks while they are still
gathering candidates, by incrementally exchanging candidates over
time instead of all at once. This method can considerably accelerate
the process of establishing a communication session.

This document is a product of the Interactive Connectivity Establishment Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.
