Congestion Detection: Monitor size of PIT vs. available memory
Added by Anonymous over 4 years ago.
Updated 4 months ago.
Description
The main idea here is to avoid overflowing the available memory for PIT entries, by proactively adding congestion marks once the PIT grows too large.
However, the exact algorithm is still work-in-progress. Feel free to discuss suggestions below.

I thought about this long ago. See notes in attachment.
The main design challenge is fairness. Using congestion marks some alleviates this challenge, if everybody is cooperating.
On implementation side: do you want to enforce a fixed PIT capacity limit, or read system RAM usage?

Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about it, and just leave fairness to the endpoints.

Not sure yet. I assume there has to be some sort of best practice how to deal with limited memory?
Fixed PIT limit is likely easier to implement.
