> The default algorithm (B; see [Y.1540]) has three paths to its decision on the next sending rate: 1. When there are no impairments present (no sequence errors and low delay variation), resulting in a sending rate increase. 2. When there are low impairments present (no sequence errors but higher levels of delay variation), the same sending rate is maintained. 3. When the impairment levels are above the thresholds set for this purpose and "congestion" is inferred, resulting in a sending rate decrease.
