As you know I really like this idea. My main concern is that the same packet could cause TCP to reduce cwnd twice within an RTT - first on enqueue and then if this packet is ECN marked on dequeue. I don't think this is the desired behavior. Can we avoid it?
I'll work on this. In my experiences, I found that no drops (or ECN marks) were done at dequeue time once one NET_XMIT_CN was returned, but its certainly possible if other flows compete with this one. Strangely, SFQ has the same behavior and nobody complained yet ;) Thanks
