In {[}I-D.eardley-pcn-architecture{]}, Admission and Flow Termination use two different markings and two different metering mechanisms in the internal nodes of the PCN region. This draft proposes a mechanism using a single marking and metering for both Admission and Flow Termination, and presents an analysis of the tradeoffs. A side- effect of this proposal is that a different marking and metering Admission mechanism than that proposed in {[}I-D.eardley-pcn-architecture{]} may be also feasible, and may result in a number of benefits. In addition, this draft proposes a migration path for incremental deployment of this approach as an intermediate step to the dual-marking approach.}, }
