The IESG has received a request from the Transport Area Working Group WG
(tsvwg) to consider the following document: - 'Explicit Congestion
Notification (ECN) Experimentation'
<draft-ietf-tsvwg-ecn-experimentation-05.txt> as Proposed Standard

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-09-14. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of
the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract

This memo updates RFC 3168, which specifies Explicit Congestion
Notification (ECN) as a replacement for packet drops as indicators of
network congestion. It relaxes restrictions in RFC 3168 that would
otherwise hinder experimentation towards benefits beyond just removal
of loss. This memo summarizes the anticipated areas of
experimentation and updates RFC 3168 to enable experimentation in
these areas. An Experimental RFC is required to take advantage of
any of these enabling updates. In addition, this memo makes related
updates to the ECN specifications for RTP in RFC 6679 and for DCCP in
RFC 4341, RFC 4342 and RFC 5622. This memo also records the
conclusion of the ECN Nonce experiment in RFC 3540, and provides the
rationale for reclassification of RFC 3540 as Historic; this
reclassification enables new experimental use of the ECT(1)
codepoint.
