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

["Rolf Winter" <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

I personally am interested in this. I think re-ECN is an interesting endeavor and has significant potential. Regarding the experiments you mentioned in an earlier Email, do you have something in particular mind how these might look like?

Best,

	Rolf
