Title : Congestion Exposure (ConEx) Concepts and Abstract Mechanism
Author(s) : Matt Mathis

Filename : draft-ietf-conex-abstract-mech-03.txt
Pages : 23

This document describes an abstract mechanism by which senders inform
the network about the congestion encountered by packets earlier in
the same flow. Today, the network may signal congestion to the
receiver by ECN markings or by dropping packets, and the receiver
passes this information back to the sender in transport-layer
feedback. The mechanism to be developed by the ConEx WG will enable
the sender to also relay this congestion information back into the
network in-band at the IP layer, such that the total level of
congestion is visible to all IP devices along the path, where it
could, for example, be used to provide input to traffic management.
