Folks,

More views welcome?

Congestion Exposure seems to get everyone's approval


>>And a short form:
>>CEX?
>>re-ECN?

Everyone agrees on what it shouldn't be: Not re-ECN
Less agreement on a replacement:

         CEX
         ConEx
         re-con
Also, one vote for "Wait until later."


I'm not so keen on including "Con" for obvious 
reasons :) Choosing something like that can come back and bite you.
It also sounds somehow as much like config as congestion.

Some time ago, Toby came up with a clever one:
         C-IT (pron. "See it") for Congestion Information Transparency.
not so useful if we're not calling it transparency tho.

Hey, I've just had a thought, the flag (or 
codepoint) for rest-of-path congestion could be 
called CEX (Congestion Expected), rather 
ambiguous with ECN's "Congestion Experienced (CE)" tho.


Bob
