I have submitted a new version of the PW congestion considerations draft

(co-authored by David Black and Bob Briscoe),

and have asked for a slot to discuss it in Vancouver.

Please read the PDF version, since it has the figures.

Abstract:

   Pseudowires (PWs) have become a common mechanism for tunneling

   traffic, and may be found competing for network resources both with

   other PWs and with non-PW traffic, such as TCP/IP flows.  It is thus

   worthwhile specifying under what conditions such competition is safe,

   i.e., the PW traffic does not significantly harm other traffic or

   contribute more than it should to congestion.  We conclude that PWs

   transporting responsive traffic behave as desired without the need

   for additional mechanisms.  For inelastic PWs (such as TDM PWs) we

   derive a bound under which such PWs consume no more network capacity

   than a TCP flow.
