Re: [sfc] The SFC WG has placed draft-eastlake-sfc-nsh-ecn-support in state "Candidate for WG Adoption"

Med,

Not all transports support ECN marking, for example NSH over MPLS.

And even where the transport supports ECN marking, note the example in
Figure 1 in the draft where the outer encapsulation can be stripped during
SFF processing. In that case, the scope of the ECN marking is limited to
individual SFF-SFF links. rather than end-to-end.

Cheers,
Andy
