Hi,

first, one general question from my side: I'm not sure if I understand the 
problem you are addressing. If you always take the smaller cwnd and be never 
more aggressive than standard TCP, how can you solve the problem that TCP is 
too slow in large BDP networks? Even when all network nodes support your ERN 
protocol (and all endsystems using these nodes), you still will not increase 
fast than standard TCP...?

Then I don't understand how you change the E2E cwnd. If the sending rate is 
limited by the ERN protocol you should not increase the E2E cwnd as your E2E 
feedback would be related to the smaller cwnd of the ERN protocol. If you 
don't increase the E2E any further and then halve on loss, you will probably 
underutilize the bottleneck link. Is this correct?
