RFC3985/6.5.  Congestion Considerations
may have some useful text. 

We have a lot of deployment experience with
PWs and frankly I have never seen a congestion
complain raised from the field.

Hi Lars,

Thanks a lot for your comments.

I wonder whether the following modified text for Congestion Consideration 
section is OK from your point of view:

Since the MPLS-in-UDP encapsulation causes MPLS packets to be forwarded 
through "UDP tunnels", the congestion control guidelines for UDP tunnels as 
defined in Section 3.1.3 of [RFC5405] SHOULD be followed. Specifically, MPLS 
can carry a number of different protocols as payloads. When the payload 
traffic is IP-based and congestion-controlled, the UDP tunnel SHOULD NOT 
employ its own congestion control mechanism, because congestion losses of 
tunneled traffic will already trigger an appropriate congestion response at 
the original senders of the tunneled traffic. When the payload traffic is not 
known to be IP-based, or is known to be IP-based but not 
congestion-controlled, the UDP tunnel SHOULD employ an appropriate congestion 
control mechanism. Furthermore, because UDP tunnels are usually bulk-transfer 
applications as far as the intermediate routers are concerned, the guidelines 
as defined in Section 3.1.1 of [RFC5405] SHOULD apply.

Best regards,
Xiaohu

this document needs to describe how it addresses the issues raised in BCP145
(RFC5405). It already contains some text about messages sizes and congestion
considerations, which is great. Unfortunately, the text about congestion
considerations is not fully in line with RFC5405.
