1. Summary
Document shepherd is Pasi Sarolahti. Responsible AD is Martin Stiemerling.
Traditionally the explicit congestion notification can deliver only one
congestion signal in a round-trip time with TCP. This Informational document
motivates the case for delivering more accurate congestion information for TCP.
It discusses high-level requirements for methods for delivering more accurate
congestion information, but does not specify such mechanism. Therefore
Informational is considered appropriate document type.

also during the WGLC. There has been no controversy over it. TCPM chairs
