I think the key point is the bottleneck link is a shared resource. Many TCP flows traversing the link will drive it to a relatively high queue occupancy which causes higher delay for all traffic regardless of protocol.

Only skimmed the proposal but looks like it isolates traffic using the new protocol by giving it a dedicated buffer, and the explicit congestion notification protocol would then keep the size of this queue much smaller at steady state when the link is saturated.

This is 100% true in my experience as well. I hadn't thought of it before, but this seems like a major ethical problem for the industry -- from MegaCorp's perspective, internships are by far the best way to find junior talent, but access to internships is gated on being in a program at a top school with all the accumulated bias that implies.

I've seen some efforts at work along these lines, but nothing within even probably two orders of magnitude of the established internship program.

Curious if anyone is aware of companies offering entry level contract positions that aren't conditional on active enrollment in an academic program?
