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

Hi Bob,

yes, I am definitely interested in re-ECN. I'd like to know how much 
it's gonna buy us for which use and under which conditions it works. I'd 
like to quantify its benefits by simulations and analyses and point out 
pitfalls. Furthermore, I would like to get involved in IETF work.

Regards,

    Michael
