Hi,

To follow up the WGLC that ended on July, we are about to submit draft-ietf-tcpm-accecn-reqs-07 for publication. Below is the write-up to go along with the document (following a new alternate format).

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.

2. Review and Consensus

The document was reviewed by a few WG participants in its different 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.

3. Intellectual Property 

There are no IPR disclosures on this document, and the authors have confirmed that they are not aware of undisclosed IPR related to this document.

The draft discusses the possible solution space and related earlier proposals, some of which have disclosed IPRs (draft-bensley-tcpm-dctcp-01, draft-kuehlewind-tcpm-accurate-ecn-03). These disclosures can be found on the IPR page based on the respective draft names.

4. Other points

None. There were no issues based on the checklist provided with the alternative write-up instructions.
