Ballot Text

Technical Summary

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.

Working Group Summary

phases, also during the WGLC. There has been no controversy over it. 
TCPM chairs believe the document is stable and has gone through a 
sufficient review, and is ready for publication.
