[BA] Might I point out that we already have two mechanisms that affect a sender's ability to continue to send to a given receiver: consent and circuit breakers.  So the complexity you speak of is already there.  For example, the studies we have seen so far raise questions about whether circuit breakers are very likely to fire prior to consent loss, potentially shutting off the packet flow even in situations where consent would be provided.   In those situations, the ICE consent mechanism serves merely to add overhead while providing little or no additional protection.
