I won't comment on the question discussed here. This is just a small reminder not to forget pieces outside TSVWG...

As per draft-ietf-tsvwg-l4s-arch-08, "[...] the implementation of TCP receivers will have to be upgraded [RFC7560].  Work to standardize and implement more accurate ECN feedback for TCP (AccECN) is in progress [I-D.ietf-tcpm-accurate-ecn]".

draft-ietf-tcpm-accurate-ecn is a WG item in TCPM targeting standards track. In order to finish draft-ietf-tcpm-accurate-ecn, TCPM needs reviews and feedback. For instance, recently the encoding of the TCP option changed. IMHO would be important to understand whether the solution now addresses all known needs.

Has everybody who plans to run or runs TCP-based experiments with L4S already reviewed draft-ietf-tcpm-accurate-ecn? If not, why not?

Please feel free to post comments regarding draft-ietf-tcpm-accurate-ecn on tcpm@ietf.org.
