Re: [re-ECN] Pls respond: Do we have a Congestion Exposure community?

Bob, all,

Whilst I don't have a huge number of cycles to spare (hence catching up
with these mails a bit late!) I'd certainly be interested in a BoF (I
missed the previous discussions in Stockholm) and am interested in both
practical issues of implementation and any potential wider application
of the algorithms.

Regards,
Alan
