The aim is for explicit congestion signals to propagate consistently from lower layer protocols into IP. Then the IP internetwork layer can act as a portability layer to carry congestion notification from non-IP-aware congested nodes up to the transport layer (L4). Following these guidelines should assure interworking among IP layer and lower layer congestion notification mechanisms, whether specified by the IETF or other standards bodies. This document is included in BCP 89 and updates the single paragraph of advice to subnetwork designers about ECN in Section 13 of RFC 3819, by replacing it with a reference to the whole of this document.}, }
