Summary: Ready for publication as Informational
This document handles a complex description problem in a very accessible
way.
Thank you for the effort that has gone into creating it.
One minor point to double-check:
This document goes out of its way to push decisions about measuring in
packets,
bytes, or other units to the concrete encoding proposals. RFC6789 was
explicit
about conex exposing a metric of congestion-volume measured in bytes.
RFC6789 was published a couple of years ago - has that part of it become
stale?
If so, it would be good for this document to explicitly call that out.
If not, (most of section 4.6 goes back to -04 which predates RFC6789),
does this document need to retain the this flexibility in its description?
