Abstract:
   Explicit congestion notification (ECN) allows a forwarding element to
   notify downstream devices of the onset of congestion without having
   to drop packets. Coupled with a means to feed back information about
   congestion to upstream nodes, this can improve network efficiency
   through better congestion control, frequently without packet drops.
   This document specifies ECN and congestion feedback support within a
   Service Function Chaining (SFC) domain through use of the Network
   Service Header (NSH, RFC 8300) and IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX,
   draft-ietf-tsvwg-tunnel-congestion-feedback).
