Hi,

I missed your comments when I posted -08 - sorry! Will post -09 with fixes shortly.

done

I used DCTCP.CE and did some reformatting

Nice catch. Clarified this in "Implementation Issues".

Applied your suggestion.

Good catch. Checking with my co-authors what the thinking here was. There may be a condition missing. Praveen?

Already fixed in -08.

Already fixed in -08.

Added refs to 2309 and 7567.
