Re: [tsvwg] ECN experimentation draft - support adoption

[Michael Welzl <[e-mail]>]

… and I support TSVWG adoption of this draft:
1) as an author of one of the experiments that it enables ( draft-khademi-tcpm-alternativebackoff-ecn ),
2) because I consider the other currently proposed experiments (L4S and using ECN on more packet types) as important, i.e. I think it should be possible to test these things on a large scale.

Cheers,
Michael
