Hi,

So I have a question:

Has anybody considered using DCCP for the tunnel protocol and using information
from the congestion control algorithm as a routing metric ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datagram_Congestion_Control_Protocol

For example there is VXLAN which uses UDP, I can imagine replacing UDP with DCCP
so the tunnel can have congestion control.

When the tunnel has congestion control you might be able to use that as a routing metric, right ?

It sounds to me like that might be possible.

Have a good day,
	Leen.
