Setting a congestion bit in TCP vs. a corruption bit?
>From a pure engineering perspective, please explain how this would be
accomplished. On the surface, it seems like a major divergence
from the TCP philosophy to attempt to have end-to-end systems
distinguish between dropped packets due to congestion (buffer overflow)
and corruption (noise).
Is there a credible IETF paper on this?
