Title : The Benefits and Pitfalls of using Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) Authors : Godred Fairhurst Michael Welzl Filename : draft-ietf-aqm-ecn-benefits-01.txt Pages : 14 Date : 2015-03-23 Abstract: XXX Author Note: The WG are being asked to consider changing this title - see list XXX This document describes the potential benefits and pitfalls when applications enable Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN). It outlines the principal gains in terms of increased throughput, reduced delay and other benefits when ECN is used over network paths that include equipment that supports ECN-marking. It also lists potential problems that might occur when ECN is used. The document does not propose new algorithms that may be able to use ECN or describe the details of implementation of ECN in endpoint devices, routers and other network devices.
