http://www.stanford.edu/~alizade/Site/DCTCP.html# I've looked to using ECN for PGM but the congestion control algorithms for PGM, predominantly PGMCC are theoretically better. However in implementation PGMCC is dead at high speed and so ECN might be more practical for high speed networks. -- Steve-o
