Abstract:
This note describes the Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN)-nonce, an
optional addition to ECN that protects against accidental or malicious concealment of marked packets from the TCP
sender. It improves the robustness of congestion control by preventing receivers from exploiting ECN to gain an
unfair share of network bandwidth. The ECN-nonce uses the two ECN-Capable Transport (ECT)codepoints in the ECN field
of the IP header, and requires a flag in the TCP header. It is computationally
efficient for both routers and hosts. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for
the Internet community.
