Challenge 1: Router Support
Routers involvement in congestion control

Implicitly: queue management & scheduling strategies to support end-to-end congestion control
Finding systematic rules for setting optimal and robust set of AQM parameter values (affecting performance) is a non-trivial problem
Examples: RED (and variants), REM, PI, AVQ, etc.

Explicitly: notification mechanisms towards endpoints for more precise decisions to better prevent packet loss and improve fairness
Examples: ECN [RFC3168], eXplicit Control Protocol (XCP) [Katabi02] [Falk07]
