Re: [aqm] Who supports tsvwg adoption of adding ECN to L2 or tunnel protocols?

(aqm chair hat off)

I can fully support what Matt just stated!

I have read an earlier version (-01 iirc), I'll try to scan over this version in the coming days.

I think this is valuable work.  Having a single document that describes the requirements and general principles will save future tunnel inventor/implementers from rediscovering the same bugs

Thanks,

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.

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.
