Purpose: For information

Body: 1. Overall Description:
IETF tsvwg requested information from 3GPP.
1) to tell the IETF tsvwg which 3GPP working groups could be affected by this work.
The working groups that could be affected by ongoing work on ECN include SA2, SA4, RAN2, CT1, CT3,  and CT4.
2) To inform the IETF tsvwg of any specific 3GPP specifications affected by this work.
The following Technical Specifications either include a normative citation or normative text relying up RFC 3168. 

Working Group	        Technical Specification
3GPP TSG SA WG2	23.060, 23.228, 23.401
3GPP TSG SA WG4	26.114, 26.223, 26.247
3GPP TSG CT WG1	24.229
3GPP TSG CT WG3	29.162, 29.163, 29.213, 29.292
3GPP TSG CT WG4	23.333, 29.333 (Iq stage 2 and stage 3), 23.334, 29.334 (Mp stage 2 and    stage3), 29.238 (Ix stage 3), 29.332 (Mn stage 3), 29.232 (Mc stage 3)
3GPP TSG RAN WG2	36.300
3GPP TSG RAN WG3	25.401

26.114, 29.162, 29.232, 29.238, 29.332, 29.333, 29.334 contain normative text concerning the use of ECN in the 3GPP system. All of the listed specifications contain references to other specifications concerning ECN support.

3) to forward this liaison statement to these affected working groups, and to invite them to review the latest draft of the guidelines, available here:
         < http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tsvwg-ecn-encap-guidelines>

The usage of adding ECN to 3GPP protocols encapsulating or based on IP has not been studied by 3GPP Working Groups. Therefore, no specific review comments on the IETF tsvwg documents are provided at this time. 

References to IETF RFC 3168, RFC 6679 (and related ECN specifications) were added to 3GPP specifications from Release 10 onwards. Furthermore, numerous 3GPP specifications refer and employ TCP, UDP and other IP-based protocols. Therefore, TSG SA requests IETF to kindly keep TSG SA informed of any changes to ECN functionality (e.g. per IETF RFC 3168, RFC 6679 etc), along with changes to various IP-based protocols such as TCP as a result of the ECN work of IETF tsvwg.
 
2. Actions:
To RAN2, RAN3, SA2, SA4, CT1, CT3 and CT4 groups.
ACTION: 	SA requests that if RAN2, RAN3, SA2, SA4, CT1, CT3 and CT4 have further comments to IETF tsvwg documents that these comments be sent also to SA, along with the WGs listed in CC, for the purposes of coordinating the discussion.
To IETF tsvwg:
ACTION: 	SA kindly requests IETF tsvwg to take the information contained in this LS into account. Further, TSG SA requests IETF to kindly keep TSG SA and affected WGs informed of any changes to ECN functionality (e.g. per IETF RFC 3168, RFC 6679 etc), along with changes to various IP-based protocols such as TCP as a result of the ECN work of IETF tsvwg.

3. Date of Next TSG SA Meetings:
TSG SA #71	9 - 11 Mar 2016	Goteborg, Sweden
TSG SA #72	15 - 17 Jun 2016	South Korea
