A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Specifying Alternate Semantics for the
Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) Field
Author(s) : S. Floyd
Filename : draft-floyd-ecn-alternates-01.txt,.ps
Pages : 14
Date : 2005-7-14
There have been a number of proposals for alternate semantics for
the ECN field in the IP header [ECN]. This document discusses some
of the issues in defining alternate semantics for the ECN field, and
specifies requirements for a safe co-existence in an Internet that
could include routers that do not understand the defined alternate
semantics. This document evolved as a result of discussions with
the authors of one recent proposal for such alternate semantics.

In the body type:

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
