  The goal of the ECN BOF was to collect researchers already interested in ECN to discuss outstanding IP, TCP, and UDP-related issues regarding experimenting with ECN, and to introduce the work on ECN to the rest of the IETF community. The BOF was attended by roughly 150-200 people. The agenda of the BOF included an introduction of ECN, a detailed discussion of the additions to IP and to TCP, a report about an implementation of ECN in IPv6, and a discussion of security issues. The meeting ended with a unanimous consensus that the experimental work on ECN should continue.
