Hi,

Please see the message below from the chair of the IETF TSVWG. The IEEE colleagues are invited to have a look at the referred Internet-Draft. If judged relevant we may include it on the agenda of our next virtual meeting (scheduled for 6/18) to discuss possible inclusion in the areas of cooperation list. The contact person is David Black, the WG chair. Please copy his mail address on responses as he is not - by now at least - on the [email-masked] mail list. 

Thanks and Regards,

Dan

>    encapsulates IP.  The aim is for explicit congestion signals to
>    propagate consistently from lower layer protocols into IP.  Then the
>    IP internetwork layer can act as a portability layer to carry
>    congestion notification from non-IP-aware congested nodes up to the
>    transport layer (L4).  Following these guidelines should assure
>    interworking between new lower layer congestion notification
>    mechanisms, whether specified by the IETF or other standards bodies.
