Folks,
Pls respond if you support this being adopted as a work-group item in
the IETF transport services w-g (tsvwg). The WG chairs need
visibility of interest.
Even better, if you're willing to read / comment / review / implement
Guidelines for Adding Congestion Notification to Protocols that Encapsulate IP
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-briscoe-tsvwg-ecn-encap-guidelines>
Abstract
The purpose of this document is to guide the design of congestion
notification in any lower layer or tunnelling protocol that
encapsulates IP. The aim is for explicit congestion signals to
propagate consistently from lower layer protocols into IP. Then the
IP internetwork layer can act as a portability layer to carry
congestion notification from non-IP-aware congested nodes up to the
transport layer (L4). Following these guidelines should assure
interworking between new lower layer congestion notification
mechanisms, whether specified by the IETF or other standards bodies.
