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

[Bob Briscoe <[e-mail]>]

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.
