Congestion Exposure (CONEX) BoF =============================== Tuesday, November 10 from 1520-1810 Congestion Exposure (ConEx) is a proposed new IETF activity to enable congestion to be exposed along the forwarding path of the Internet. By revealing expected congestion in the IP header of packets, congestion exposure provides a generic network capability which allows greater freedom over how capacity is shared. Such information could be used for many purposes, including congestion policing, accountability and inter-domain SLAs. It may also open new approaches to QoS and traffic engineering.
