Pre-Congestion Notification Boundary-Node Behavior for the Controlled Load Mode of Operation
RFC 6661, “Pre-Congestion Notification Boundary-Node Behavior for the Controlled Load Mode of Operation”, is an Experimental document published in July 2012 by A. Charny, F. Huang, G. Karagiannis, M. Menth, T. Taylor. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Pre-Congestion Notification (PCN) is a means for protecting the quality of service for inelastic traffic admitted to a Diffserv domain. The overall PCN architecture is described in RFC 5559. This memo is one of a series describing possible boundary-node behaviors for a PCN-domain. The behavior described here is that for a form of measurement-based load control using three PCN marking states: not- marked, threshold-marked, and excess-traffic-marked. This behavior is known informally as the Controlled Load (CL) PCN-boundary-node behavior. This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
What “Experimental” means
Describes a specification that is part of a research or development effort, published so the community can gain experience with it.
