[Ecn-sane] Multiplicative Decrease Scaling (high-fidelity ECN in a single queue)

[Pete Heist <pete@heistp.net>]

Hi all,

I'm looking for some feedback on a way to do early and frequent ECN
that retains compatibility with conventional CCAs in a single queue.
Here's a write-up including simulation results:

Abstract:

Multiplicative Decrease Scaling (MDS or MD-Scaling) provides high-
fidelity Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) in a way that's
compatible with conventional congestion control algorithms (CCAs) in a
single queue. Using a signaling and response relationship that allows
cwnd convergence with conventional CCAs, MDS aims to reduce queueing
delay, and increase utilization for MDS CCAs, while supporting the
transition to scalable CCAs.

I find the results interesting, and am looking to determine if this
idea is worth pursuing further.  Any feedback on the approach, proposed
signaling mechanism or anything else is welcome.

Thanks!

PS- I've also posted this to ICCRG in the IRTF, so apologies to anyone
getting hit with it twice.
