A small question to the editors, if this targets the general Internet - you probably have an answer, there are various possibilities -  how will this transport spec detect congestion, and what method will be used for congestion control?

It's also not all that useful when you consider that ack frequency exists as a way to manage the cost and overhead of acknowledgments.
