Hi,

I missed your comments when I posted -08 - sorry! Will post -09 with fixes 
shortly.

You refer to DCTCP.Alpha before defining it.  While you refer to Section 3.3
here, the impact of an incorrect Alpha value is not fully appreciated in this
text.  Perhaps this could be changed to reflect the impact the incorrect Alpha
value would have?

done

My abbreviating DCTCP.CE as CE in your state machine diagram, it is a bit
confusing as to the difference between CE and DCTCP.CE.  The description of 
the
state machine above requires the CE codepoint to have a certain value in order
for DCTCP.CE to change.  Perhaps you can use D.CE as an abbreviation to be a
bit clearer here.

I used DCTCP.CE and did some reformatting

It is not clear if 'g' can be inclusive of 0 and 1.

Nice catch. Clarified this in "Implementation Issues".

You define DCTCP.WindowEnd as the threshold for beginning a new observation
window, but maybe to complement the state variable name, you should define it
as the following:

The TCP sequence number threshold when one observation window ends and other 
is
to begin; initialized to SND.UNA.

Applied your suggestion.

Section 3.3:

You state:

Thus, when no bytes sent experienced congestion, DCTCP.Alpha equals
zero, and cwnd is left unchanged

But if I use a value of 1/16 for g, with DCTCP.Alpha initialized to 1 as you
say, I get a value of DCTCP.Alpha == 15/16 when there is no congestion (i.e., 
M
== 0).

Good catch. Checking with my co-authors what the thinking here was. There may 
be a condition missing. Praveen?

You have an extra space here before the comma:

Already fixed in -08.

You do not define ECT before using it.

Can you provide a reference for NewReno?

Already fixed in -08.

Can you reference or define AQM and RED?

Added refs to 2309 and 7567.

Thanks,
Lars
