Re: [Pals] Spencer Dawkins' Yes on draft-ietf-pals-congcons-01: (with COMMENT)

[Bob Briscoe <[e-mail]>]

Spencer,

Sounds a reasonable request.

With the one proviso that we should use the term "mechanism to protect 
other traffic, e.g. circuit breaker in the last resort".

...given I have been arguing that there will nearly always be better 
mechanisms (and no less complex) that a CB, which destroys and f***'s-up 
as much as it protects.
