Re: [tsvwg] The TSVWG WG has placed draft-black-tsvwg-ecn-experimentation in state "Call For Adoption By WG Issued"

Written as draft author, *not* WG chair, here are a few more details.

This draft also enables experimentation with different sender responses
to ECN-detected congestion (CE-marked packets) by comparison to drops,
and with use of ECN on TCP control packets and retransmitted packets.
Drafts for these two areas of experimentation are being handled by
the TCPM WG - in contrast, L4S is expected to be handled by the TSVWG
WG.  Also, the ECT codepoint intended for experimentation is ECT(1).

I want to emphasize "*BASIS*" above.  This is only an adoption call - the text
in this draft will almost certainly be modified before the WG is done with this
draft.

Opposing adoption of this draft is effectively taking the position that one or
more of the referenced experiments are very bad ideas that should not be
pursued.

Thanks, --David
