Isn't that basically the problem of the inner traffic sender, not the

Asking tunnel's to solve the problem of applications with undesirable

Or perhaps the job of some form of very fair AQM like SFQ.

Any tunneling complicates the AQM notion of what a flow is and
therefore may affect its assessment of what is fair in bad ways.

This too is out of scope for a draft-ietf-mpls-in-udp discussion.

Yes, the inner (real) transport header is the only meaningful place
to apply congestion avoidance.

But what if the inner traffic isn't congestion controlled?
