The following errata report has been submitted for RFC3168,
"The Addition of Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) to IP".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=3168&eid=3636

--------------------------------------
Type: Editorial
Reported by: Mirja Kühlewind <mirja.kuehlewind@ikr.uni-stuttgart.de>

Section: 6.1.1.

Original Text
-------------
If the TCP connection does not
   wish to use ECN notification for a particular packet, the sending TCP
   sets the ECN codepoint to not-ECT, and the TCP receiver ignores the
   CE codepoint in the received packet.

Corrected Text
--------------
If the TCP connection does not
   wish to use ECN notification for a particular packet, the sending TCP
   sets the ECN codepoint to not-ECT.

Notes
-----
CE should not be set on not-ECT capable packets. If this happens anyway, the CE codepoint would overwrite the ECT codepoint. Thus there is no way for the receiver to know it should ignore the CE codepoint; the sentence is therefore nonsensical.

Instructions:

This errata is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party (IESG)

While the basic facts are correct, specifically that the receiver cannot
determine whether CE has been erroneously set on a not-ECT-marked packet,
I don't think this errata should be applied.

The original sentence was intended to refer to independent actions by
the sender and receiver, and was not supposed to imply that the receiver
would ignore a received CE marking as a consequence of a not-ECT being
applied by the sender.

The following editorial clarification would improve the text (add
"endpoint", and insert the word "independently"):

Original Text
-------------
If the TCP connection does not
   wish to use ECN notification for a particular packet, the sending TCP
   sets the ECN codepoint to not-ECT, and the TCP receiver ignores the
   CE codepoint in the received packet.

Corrected Text
--------------
If either endpoint of the TCP connection does not
   wish to use ECN notification for a particular packet, the sending TCP
   sets the ECN codepoint to not-ECT, and the TCP receiver independently
   ignores a CE codepoint in the received packet.

Thanks,
--David

That means the sentence should say that an ECN receiver can choose for ever=
y=20
received CE to ignore it? What's the sense behind this? (Maybe this is a=20
technical erratum then, as e.g. ECN Nonce was designed to prevent exactly=20
this behavior.)

If not, the sentence is still not very clear. Maybe splitting it up into tw=
o=20
sentences would help:

Original Text
=2D------------
If the TCP connection does not
   wish to use ECN notification for a particular packet, the sending TCP
   sets the ECN codepoint to not-ECT, and the TCP receiver ignores the
   CE codepoint in the received packet.

Corrected Text
=2D-------------
If the sending TCP does not
   wish to use ECN notification for a particular packet, it
   sets the ECN codepoint to not-ECT. If the TCP receiver independently doe=
s =09
   not wish to use ECN notification for a particular packet, it ignores a CE
   codepoint in the received packet.

For more context, here's the entire paragraph that contains the sentence
in question:

6.1.1  TCP Initialization

   In the TCP connection setup phase, the source and destination TCPs
   exchange information about their willingness to use ECN.  Subsequent
   to the completion of this negotiation, the TCP sender sets an ECT
   codepoint in the IP header of data packets to indicate to the network
   that the transport is capable and willing to participate in ECN for
   this packet. This indicates to the routers that they may mark this
   packet with the CE codepoint, if they would like to use that as a
   method of congestion notification. If the TCP connection does not
   wish to use ECN notification for a particular packet, the sending TCP
   sets the ECN codepoint to not-ECT, and the TCP receiver ignores the
   CE codepoint in the received packet.

That's not stating that "an ECN receiver can choose for every received
CE to ignore it" - rather (at least as I read the text), it's stating that
for a small specific fraction of the packets ("particular") the sender and
receiver somehow know or have agreed in advance that ECN is not to be used,
and such packets are sent as not-ECT with CE ignored on receipt.

This is all rather hypothetical, as I agree with Mirja's underlying sense
that once ECN is enabled on a TCP connection, it SHOULD be used with every
packet.  All in all, it may be better to pursue some sort of technical
that as opposed to trying to clean up this text editorially.

It is dangerous for receivers to ignore CE markings if there is any
possibility that the CE marking was applied as a congestion indication,
and the original sentence can be read as allowing that dangerous behavior.
The simplest way out of this may be to re-classify the errata (which
removes the text that refers to that receiver behavior) as technical,
and proceed from there.

Thanks,
--David

Hi David,


While we are at it - 3168 is also missing another aspect:

The receipt of a CE-marked CWR TCP segment...

In 3168 the exact TCP interaction behavior is not described sufficiently; w=
hen I investigated this aspect, I found that all derivatives of BSD used to=
=20

First, set ECE because of CE
Second, reset ECE because of CWR

While the NS2 "sample" code, Sally's TBIT tool, Windows, Solaris and Linux =
would

First, reset ECE because of CWR
Second, set ECE because of CE.

It appeared to be, that the latter approach is the sensible one, and it was=
 quickly fixed.

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2010-April/039450.html


I guess I'm asking if that clarification should be filed against 3168 to be=
 eventually included in an update?

Best regards,

Richard Scheffenegger

I agree it would be good to propose an Erata, this seems like a small, but s=
ignificant clarification.

The following errata report has been submitted for RFC3168,
"The Addition of Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) to IP".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=3168&eid=3639

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Richard Scheffenegger <rs@netapp.com>

Section: 6.1 / 6.1.3

Original Text
-------------
Section 6.1 says:


      * The receiver receives the packet with the CE codepoint set, and
        sets the ECN-Echo flag in its next TCP ACK sent to the sender.
[...]

      * The sender sets the CWR flag in the TCP header of the next
        packet sent to the receiver to acknowledge its receipt of and
        reaction to the ECN-Echo flag.

Section 6.1.3 says:


   When TCP receives a CE data packet at the destination end-system, the
   TCP data receiver sets the ECN-Echo flag in the TCP header of the
   subsequent ACK packet. 

   [...]
                                               The TCP receiver uses the
   CWR flag received from the TCP sender to determine when to stop
   setting the ECN-Echo flag.
   

Corrected Text
--------------
Section 6.1.3 should say:
 
   The TCP receiver uses the
   CWR flag received from the TCP sender to determine when to stop
   setting the ECN-Echo flag. This check has to be performed before  
   checking if the received segment is CE marked.

Notes
-----
The ordering of the text in the bullet points in section 6.1, and the text in section 6.1.3 can led to inappropriate implementations. At least Section 6.1.3 should be strict about the handling of CE-marked CWR-segments.


If CE is checked first, and ECE set, and thereafter CWR used to disable ECE, a CE-marked CWR segment will not result in the sending of an additional window of ECEs.


All derivatives of BSD used to 

First, set ECE because of CE
Second, reset ECE because of CWR

However, the "authorative" NS2 sample code, the TBIT tool, Windows, Solaris and Linux would

First, reset ECE because of CWR
Second, set ECE because of CE

The latter approach seems to be the sensible one, and it was quickly fixed:

I'm generally in favor of this ID, because it fills an obvious void left by=
 RFC5405.

I'd be curious to know why Section 2.1.4 doesn't follow the guidelines for =
picking an MTU given in Section 3.2 of RFC5405 and instead always recommend=
s 1280 bytes?

Okay, solid point. I could just mirror the text there for IPv4 and IPv6. I
chose the latter as an overall guideline, but since this is the fall-back
condition when all above recommendations are unavailable, the RFC5405
approach is better.

Thanks,
Greg

Hello,
We have just submitted the new version of draft  draft-suznjevic-tsvwg-mtd-=
tcmtf-01 renamed Delay Limits and Multiplexing Policies to be employed with=
 Tunneling Compressed Multiplexed Traffic Flows http://tools.ietf.org/html/=
draft-suznjevic-tsvwg-mtd-tcmtf-01.
It is an extension of tcmtf http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-saldana-t=
svwg-tcmtf/. Since a specific list for tcmtf exists (tcmtf@ietf.org<mailto:=
tcmtf@ietf.org>), the idea is to discuss it there.
The draft contains recommendations for TCMTF multiplexing period for differ=
ent network services as well as description of several policies required in=
 the process of packet multiplexing.
We are discussing to revise the draft once more before the IETF meeting in =
Berlin so your feedback will be very welcome. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Mirko Suznjevic

This draft "updates" RFC2309 which has already been obsoleted by one
of it's original authors and a replacement draft (
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-baker-aqm-recommendation-00 ) is in
progress. Be that as it may...

This draft starts off on the wrong foot, and proceeds downhill
rapidly. I am glad that someone is trying to update BCP for their
current RED usage, but in general I think it is incorrect to
extrapolate from RED's behavior to other behaviors in many cases,
so...

"   This document provides recommendations of best current practice for
   dropping or marking packets using any active queue management (AQM)
   algorithm, such as random early detection (RED), BLUE, pre-congestion
   notification (PCN), etc. "

By excluding DRR, SFQ, SQF, Codel, FQ_Codel, PIE and others, and
attempting to generalize from experiences with RED to all AQM
technologies, it does its potential readers a disservice.

I'd change the first sentence to:

"   This document provides recommendations of best current practice for
   dropping or marking packets using the RED active queue management
(AQM) algorithm, using packet drop and congestion notification"

>From that, it is possible to generalize the following, although the
backing argument is suspect, which I'll get into later...

" We give three strong recommendations: (1)
   packet size should be taken into account when transports read and
   respond to congestion indications, (2) packet size should not be
   taken into account when network equipment creates congestion signals
   (marking, dropping), and therefore (3) in the specific case of RED,
   the byte-mode packet drop variant that drops fewer small packets
   should not be used.  "

"This memo updates RFC 2309 to deprecate
   deliberate preferential treatment of small packets in AQM algorithms."

as RFC2309 itself is being obsoleted, we're going around in circles here.

Before tackling byte-pkt-congest-10 directly - a couple asides..

...snip snip...

RFC2309 refers to this 1994 paper:

"On the Self-Similar Nature of Ethernet Traffic (Extended Version)"

I would certainly like the model and analysis of this paper repeated
against modern traffic patterns. Has anyone done this? I loved this
paper when it came out....

last paragraph in section 2 of RFC2039 I heartily agree with

"      In short, scheduling algorithms and queue management should be
       seen as complementary, not as replacements for each other."

And if we can agree that AQM = Active queue *length* management and
can come up with a name for FQ+AQM hybrids that works for people (SQM
- smart queue management?) so we know what we're talking about when
talking about things, certain bits in section 3 get easier to deal
with.

Because of the overload on AQM I'm going to use SQM throughout what I
write below.

As one last general example of problems with rfc2039, some of the
references are to protocols so ancient and non-deployed as to render
the relevant arguments moot:

"      voice and video, and also multicast bulk data transport [SRM96].
      If no action is taken, such unresponsive flows could lead to a new
      congestive collapse.

      In general, all UDP-based streaming applications should
      incorporate effective congestion avoidance mechanisms.  For
      example, recent research has shown the possibility of
      incorporating congestion avoidance mechanisms such as Receiver-
      driven Layered Multicast (RLM) within UDP-based streaming
      applications such as packet video [McCanne96] [Bolot94].  Further
      research and development on ways to accomplish congestion
      avoidance for streaming applications will be very important."

It would be nice to have relevance to new stuff like webrtc in a new
draft of some sort rather than to non-deployed 20 year old protocols.

...ok back to the pkt-congest draft...

"   Consensus has emerged over the years concerning the first stage: if
   queues cannot be measured in time, whether they should be measured in
   bytes or packets.  Section 2.1 of this memo records this consensus in
   the RFC Series.  In summary the choice solely depends on whether the
   resource is congested by bytes or packets."

Measuring queues in time is totally feasible as shown by pie and
codel, and implementations on weak hardware such as on mips. Last week
I got fq_codel running on a raspberri pi and a beaglebone to no
observable hit on cpu usage vs pfifo_fast... I'll do an arduino if
that's necessary to make the point, harder. Anybody got a 68020 or
slower to play with?

So an alternative formulation that makes sense is:

"  When queues cannot be measured in time, should they be measured in
   bytes or packets?

And dropping the rest of this:

" Section 2.1 of this memo records this consensus in
   the RFC Series.  In summary the choice solely depends on whether the
   resource is congested by bytes or packets."


Moving on:

"   This memo updates [RFC2309] to deprecate deliberate preferential
   treatment of small packets in AQM algorithms.  It recommends that (1)
   packet size should be taken into account when transports read
   congestion indications, (2) not when network equipment writes them.
   This memo also adds to the congestion control principles enumerated
   in BCP 41 [RFC2914]."

s/AQM/the RED/g across the draft

Still... to get to the meat of my own complaint with the draft and
philosophy expoused within, I'll pull out two example paragraphs and
try to make my argument....

"However, at the transport layer, TCP congestion control is a widely
   deployed protocol that doesn't scale with packet size.  To date this
   hasn't been a significant problem because most TCP implementations
   have been used with similar packet sizes.  But, as we design new
   congestion control mechanisms, this memo recommends that we should
   build in scaling with packet size rather than assuming we should
   follow TCP's example."

"Although many control packets happen to be
   small, the alternative of network equipment favouring all small
   packets would be dangerous.  That would create perverse incentives to
   split data transfers into smaller packets."

packets were (at least originally) "a small group or package of anything",

I view the incentives to create larger packets as *far, far, far, far
more perverse* than the incentives to create smaller ones. There will
always be header overhead, there will always be small signalling
packets, and there will always be bulk data that can *always* be
broken up into packets of smaller size, that gets in the way of more
interactive data if the larger packets aren't broken up into packets
of smaller size.

In my talks of late, I toss a 64GB memory stick across the room at
someone - wow! check out that bandwidth! 64GB/sec!! and then challenge
someone to try and read the last byte from the file on it going
sequentually)

(hint, most USB sticks barely do 8MB/sec and you'll be waiting a looong time)

If it were up to me I'd have held the internet's MTU to 574 bytes
until everybody was running at greater than 1Mbit, and the ratio
between the largest packet and smallest held to less than 10x1 for
eternity.

Big packets affect latency, badly. They are also subject to much
higher potential rates of error. At 1500 bytes, header overhead, even
with ipv6, is pretty minimal and few gains can be had by increasing
it. Jumbo frames are barely accepted in very few circumstances, etc.

So the argument and conclusions about larger packet sizes that
permeates this document is the opposite of the argument I'd make,
throughout.

So, as one example:

"6. Security Considerations

   This memo recommends that queues do not bias drop probability towards
   small packets as this creates a perverse incentive for transports to
   break down their flows into tiny segments.  One of the benefits of
   implementing AQM was meant to be to remove this perverse incentive
   that drop-tail queues gave to small packets."

I think the author has got the intended statement wrong ("away from"
rather than "towards"?)...

 and my take on it is that the drop tail behavior towards small
packets was indeed very desirable, and should be retained in an SQM,
to keep latencies low on overload and create incentives for
right-sizing packets in general as per their actual transport needs.

"In
   summary, it says that making drop probability depend on the size of
   the packets that bits happen to be divided into simply encourages the
   bits to be divided into smaller packets. "

YEA!

 " Byte-mode drop would
   therefore irreversibly complicate any attempt to fix the Internet's
   incentive structures."

s/complicate/enhance/

The document refers to things like rfc5690 and I long ago lost hope for ECN.

The document then makes some blanket statements that aren't backed by
data (that I'm aware of)

Section 6

"   In practice, transports cannot all be trusted to respond to
   congestion.  So another reason for recommending that queues do not
   bias drop probability towards small packets is to avoid the
   vulnerability to small packet DDoS attacks that would otherwise
   result.  One of the benefits of implementing AQM was meant to be to
   remove drop-tail's DoS vulnerability to small packets, so we
   shouldn't add it back again."

I am only aware of a few small packet attacks. (most UDP DNS attacks
try to do amplification actuallly) A strict DDOS based on small
packets can be made effective against drop tail and somewhat effective
against RED.

Most attacks I've looked at are actually MUCH less effective against a
SQM like fq_codel, given the random hash and equal service guarantees.
I would certainly like to take a hard look at the tools used to attack
and create Robust RED, so everything in section 6 seems highly
theoretical and needs proof.

Lastly:

section 5.2 needs to be thought about in the age of wireless, which is
often TXOP-congested rather than either of the two problems
identified, and is kind of pressing.

"5.2. Bit- & Packet-congestible Network


   The position is much less clear-cut if the Internet becomes populated
   by a more even mix of both packet-congestible and bit-congestible
   resources (see Appendix B.2).  This problem is not pressing, because
   most Internet resources are designed to be bit-congestible before
   packet processing starts to congest (see Section 1.1)."

	Title           : Quick Failover Algorithm in SCTP

Abstract:
   One of the major advantages in SCTP is supporting multi-homing
   communication.  If a multi-homed end-point has redundant network
   connections, SCTP sessions can have a good chance to survive from
   network failures by migrating inactive network to active one.
   However, if we follow the SCTP standard, there can be significant
   delay for the network migration.  During this migration period, SCTP
   cannot transmit much data to the destination.  This issue drastically
   impairs the usability of SCTP in some situations.  This memo
   describes the issue of SCTP failover mechanism and discuss its
   solutions which require minimal modification to the current standard.

Hello Salvatore,

I'm sorry for my very slow reply. We've just submitted a new version in
order to avoid expiration status. We've also added some texts for further
discussions.
And thank you so much for the comments. I believe these are very good
suggestions. Please see in line.

I agree with you to stick to the behavior of RFC4960 as default behavior.
We've been exploring several possibilities for performance improvement and
discussing using 2 MTU might be an idea, although we think we'll need
further discussions. Preethi might have some more comments on this point.

Yes. I agree that there will be a situation where Permanent Failover work
effectively. OTOH, supporting this prevents us from keeping RFC4960
behavior as RFC4960 doesn't have this mode.
But, I believe this is a very interesting point and we would like to get
more feedback in order to think about this more.

This is a bit difficult point for me. I don't know much about the original
intention of RFC4960, but if we follow what is written there, i think we
need to increment association error count. (Please correct me if I
misunderstand this point)
So, my personal preference is to set bigger AMR to avoid early termination
so that we can keep the RFC4960 behavior.
However, we don't mind discussing to update the logic described in 4960 for
more sophisticated solution.

I think it will be OK to send notification as long as it's a new
notification type. But we should not send notifications defined in RFC6458.
I guess having a new notification type won't cause problems, but I would
like to get more feedback on this.

Thanks!

- Section 5.1: CWND Handling for Potentially Failed Destinations<br>

in ACTIVE state as a result of the receipt of an HB ACK.<br>
<br>
We are not sure what is the motivation for any special measures to be taken=

<br>
Generally the CWND settings are governed by RFC4960 prescriptions as to set=
 the CWND to 1 MTU after T3-rtx (but not afterHB timeout)<br>
as well as RFC4960 guidelines to converge the CWND to the initial CWND towa=

- Section 5.3: Permanent Failover<br>
<br>
We have good experiences from live networks with running SCTP in a =93no sw=
itchback=94 mode of operation with no automatic migration<br>
back to a preferred primary path. Once the primary path is left due to it b=
eing potentially failed, then a selected alternative path automatically<br>

<br>
This mode of operation corresponds to a simplified variant of the permanent=

degradation due to path changes and slow start operation.<br>
<br>
Based on our experiences we would recommend and support that the Permanent =

- Section 5.4: The impact of HB timeouts in association error counter<br>

The draft recommends for excluding HB timeouts from contributing to the (as=

all timeouts of HBs that are send to probe the state of destinations addres=

This email announces the beginning of a short working group last call 
for draft-ietf-tsvwg-byte-pkt-congest-10, "Byte and Packet Congestion 
Notification". This document is now thought by the authors to be ready 
to proceed to be published as a Proposed Standard, it completed  a 
former WGLC and has since received review by the IESG and was 
subsequently revised. Please send any comments on version -10 to the 
TSVWG list.

The draft is available at:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tsvwg-byte-pkt-congest

The last call will run for one week, ending Friday, 28th June 2013.
Emails saying "I support" or "I don't support" are also most helpful in
judging the consensus.

James, David and Gorry
(TSVWG Chairs)

   First of all, I wish to applaud the authors for expanding the question
of scaling congestion control signals and responses to include queue
length in time.

   I agree with the authors that _when_ queue size cannot be measured in
time, the remaining question is whether to measure bytes or packets.

   Alas, I do not agree with the authors that measuring queue size in
_payload_ bytes is useful -- the measurement should be bytes-on-the-wire.
It is because of the difficulties in measuring byte-on-the-wire that I
tend to prefer measuring the queue length in packets.

   But arguing that becomes pointless when queue size can be measured in
time.

   Considering the current work in progress on CoDel and PIE, etc., I
wonder whether it actually makes sense to nail down the question of
what to do when we can't measure queue length in time.

   Thus, I do not favor trying to finish this draft at this time.

   If we do wish to finish this draft at this time, I have other questions
that I hope we will consider.

   I also note the Fred Baker draft revising RFC2309 being considered
in the proposed AQM WG. These two drafts overlap so much that I believe
a single co-ordinated draft revising 2309 is wiser.

The intended purpose of the WGLC was to confirm the final changes made by
the IESG. I'm happy to see discussion on these important topics, however
in considering this we also need to note the set of issues that were
raised during the original WGLC.

If this is in conflict with new individual submission, then maybe we have
a potential charter problem that should also perhaps be considered.

I also agree with this.

The document explains why packets are generally a less useful metric,
and why bytes are preferred and won the recommendation.

Clearly you're right that bytes on-the-wire might in several cases be
difficult to infer in code looking only at layer-3 packets, but this
isn't impossible, nor does it seem to lead to an unusably bad
approximation in many common cases.

So, I think the recommendation as-is is perfectly valid, and would not
sacrifice recommending the best thing in order to recommend something
that's easy but known to have pathologies.

Since this isn't a protocol with compatibility requirements, any piece
of equipment or software is free to disregard that advice and the
analysis if it seems too difficult, and the Internet will survive.

I'm not sure that there has to be any conflict.

This document already mentions sojourn time as a possible dimension to
measure, as an alternative to length in bytes of packets.  It makes
pretty clear statements that time is the desirable metric, if it can
be used, and that the majority of this document only pertains to the
algorithms that don't use time (see first paragraph of section 2.1).

This document is a focused piece of work on that particular issue of
bytes versus packets as a measure of length.  Fred's AQM document is
much higher-level, and tries to fold in the full set of things learned
since 2309.  This byte/packet topic is only one of several.

It seems obvious that the take-away recommendation here about bytes
rather than packets can be inserted into Fred's document with reference
to this one for the full details.

So ... yeah, there is a separate WG trying to be born to deal with AQM,
but I don't understand why that would hold this up at all.  Sorting out
the family tree of documents (and documents coming out of a not yet
even formed WG) and who updates or obsoletes who and how they all
relate is good to do, but this one is a WG item for TSVWG and can be
completed now ... we'll worry about the metadata on the AQM WG docs
when there is actually an AQM WG.

Just my 2 cents.

I support progress of the document.

I also agree, that measuring queues by delay as proposed by Codel and PIE i=
s desireable. These mechanisms are no commodity yet.

e 28th June 2013

This email announces the beginning of a short working group last call
for draft-ietf-tsvwg-byte-pkt-congest-10, "Byte and Packet Congestion
Notification". This document is now thought by the authors to be ready
to proceed to be published as a Proposed Standard, it completed  a
former WGLC and has since received review by the IESG and was
subsequently revised. Please send any comments on version -10 to the
TSVWG list.

The draft is available at:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tsvwg-byte-pkt-congest

The last call will run for one week, ending Friday, 28th June 2013.
Emails saying "I support" or "I don't support" are also most helpful in
judging the consensus.

James, David and Gorry
(TSVWG Chairs)

I can only speak for one implementation, but that one implementation looks =

I do not support this draft for the reasons I outlined in:

http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tsvwg/current/msg12003.html

the least of which was the competing updates to rfc2039.

As noted therein, byte-congest might be useful if it were specifically
narrowed down to focus on best current practices for RED and came with
operational advice from an actual deployment and data from actual
traffic (rather than the theoretical argument at it core), backing
references for section 6, had updates for more modern protocols, and
so on.

and I'd made a few other comments.

That would be 2309, and I agree with Lars that holding this draft up becaus=
e
a new WG-to-be aspires to replace 2309 is not a good idea.

Actually, it's somewhat broader than that, as I think Dave T. hit the nail
on the head in this line in his other message:

> And if we can agree that AQM =3D Active queue *length* management

That appears to exactly right - the byte-pkt-congest draft applies to
algorithms that manage queues primarily by size (length), not time.  A
little bit of clarifying text in the draft would go a long way in that
regard.  In contrast, I would not impose a corresponding restriction
on the AQM BOF in Berlin - that effort is starting from a problem and
should have flexibility in figuring out what to do to address it.

I think this draft has done something useful; the algorithms to which it
applies are extensively deployed and far from obsolete, and I'd be
disappointed if we lose the results that apply to existing algorithms
courtesy of strong interest in working on new ones.

Thanks,
--David

Dear TSV WG,

the new version of diffserv-intercon should have more comprehensible termin=
ology. It further contains a discussion about treatment of PHB network mana=
gement / CS6 at interconnection interfaces.

Regards,

Ruediger

Dear WG,

Following is a revised draft incorporating feed-back/comments from the
last IETF.

Notable changes from the last revision,
- use of IPFIX IANA registry for Classifier Elements
- use of Tspec for SLA rates
- L2_OVERHEAD attribute to allow SLA advertise L3, L2 or customized L2
rates

Please provide comments,

Regards,
Shitanshu

   Alas, we do need clarity about the intended status.

   I cannot see how this draft would qualify for Proposed Standard; so
I will not discuss that further unless someone confirms that that indeed
is the status that will be proposed.

   The document itself claims Intended status: BCP.

   IMHO, we have been overtaken by events over the last six years; and
to publish a BCP on this topic today would require considerable review
and discussion. I am willing to participate in such review; but I am
doubtful we will see quick progress with the current authors. :^(

   I suggest instead publishing pretty much as-is with intended status:
Informational. Surely the effort which has gone into it so far justifies
a WG Informational RFC. (I'd be happiest with an added note of the
expected work in AQM; but I certainly won't insist on that.)

   I do encourage everyone interested in this to attend the AQM BoF at
1700 on Tuesday, July 30th.

   (As a brief suggestion of issues deserving our work to publish this
as a BCP today, I'll mention:
- whether we are attempting to estimate time-on-the-wire when we count
  bytes and/or packets;
- what AQM has come to mean over the last few years; and
- how byte and/or packet counting will interact with time-in-queue AQM.)

TSVWG

Below is the draft agenda times we've been given. There's a typo 
below in that Session 1 says it's 60 minutes long and Session 2 is 
150 minutes, when in fact they are reversed, as indicated by the 
timeslots of the two sessions.

    The session(s) that you have requested have been scheduled.
    Below is the scheduled session information followed by
    the original request.

    tsvwg Session 1 (1:00:00)
        Monday, Morning Session I 0900-1130
        Room Name: Potsdam 2
        ---------------------------------------------
        tsvwg Session 2 (2:30:00)
        Monday, Afternoon Session II 1510-1610
        Room Name: Charlottenburg 2/3
        ---------------------------------------------

These timeslots for either session is subject to change, so don't 
make travel plans based on this information.
