Bob: 

This is exciting work .    It is good to get it into WG adoption . Let's
chat early in the week so we can determine if when we should start the WG
adoption call.

Subject: [trill] Adoption? draft-eastlake-trill-ecn-support-01: Idea thought
up after -00

Sue & Jon (as trill chairs) and TRILLers generally,

I'm not familiar with custom & practice in the TRILL WG, but is it
appropriate to discuss adoption of this draft yet?

Background:
ECN was added to IP in 2001 (Proposed Std) and is now finally starting to
happen. Network support is confined to data centres at the mo. And
bottlenecks on the public Internet including IXPs need to be next. Hence the
need for a spec of how to support ECN in TRILL.

Status:
Some of you will recall in Buenos Aires Donald & I presented 3 ways of
solving the problem of supporting ECN in TRILL.
#1 violated layering , so was summarily rejected. 
#2 was the only one written up in draft-00
#3 was much better, but only thought up after we submitted draft-00.

In draft-01, we've completely replaced solution #2 with the preferred
solution #3.
There are no holes in the text now - it's nice and simple and all ready to
go.

It's fairly terse, so it might need more explanation.
Pls read, comment, bash. 

Cheers

Bob

Abstract:
   Explicit congestion notification (ECN) allows a forwarding element to
   notify downstream devices, including the destination, of the onset of
   congestion without having to drop packets. This document extends this
   capability to TRILL switches, including integration with IP ECN.

Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
