Re: [tsvwg] I-D Action: draft-ietf-tsvwg-ecn-experimentation-04.txt

["Black, David" <[e-mail]>]

As discussed in Prague, this is a small update to request that IANA remove the registration of the TCP header flag used by RFC 3540 (ECN Nonce).   Any reassignment of that flag will be handled by the TCPM WG.  This update also changes the name of one of the areas of ECN experimentation to be different from the name of the experiment proposed in that area.

Thanks, --David
