Hi list,

one more question, we need to answer for the TCP modifications draft:

In the draft we propose a way how to use the credits bits in Slow Start. We 
assume that the credits are valid for a couple of RTTs. But I assume that 
those credits should not be valid for ever, as otherwise I could just send 
credits whenever I have 'congestion volume tokens' available and not care 
about any conex markings later on. I believe we want to avoid this case. But 
I don't think that any kind of expiration of the credits bit is addressed yet 
(in the abstract mechanism draft)...?
