That disrupts other traffic sharing the queue. The point of using ECN is to be able to stop flows causing persistent excessive congestion without the latency penalty of the queue overflow.

You are free to propose a mechanism how to take CE into account (differently than counting it as loss), e.g. counting it separately and using a even higher threshold...

I'm sorry, but I'm still not seeing the justification for this. The ABE work you cited earlier is TCP specific, and I don't recall any other discussion in TSV or RMCAT around alternative back-off for non-TCP flows. What am I missing?
