[re-ECN] Fwd: Pls bash: Congestion Exposure (re-ECN) BoF in Hiroshima?

[Bob Briscoe <[e-mail]>]

Folks,

Does anyone want to help co-author the BoF proposal (by Monday night)?
Or specifically commit to review it?

>C/ Community (see separate mail)

>D/ Ultimate documents to deliver (draft charter milestones):...?
>1. (INF) Motivating cases for congestion exposure
>2. (EXP) protocol spec (re-ECN is one proposal)
>    - choosing an encoding in IP, plus alternative encodings in an appendix
>3. <if the encoding uses bit 48 in IPv4>
>    (STD) Reassign value 1 of bit 48 from 'reserved' to 'experimental use'
>    Also describe conditions on experiments, e.g.:
>    - confined in space and in time
>    - multiple simultaneous experiments with same value would need v 
> strong case
>4. (INF) Report(s) on experimental uses of protocols
