Hayashi et al (2011) Improving Fairness of Quantized Congestion Notification for Data Center Ethernet Networks (ICDCS)
There are fairness issue in QCN, which leads to unequal bandwidth allocation. The fairness problem is caused by probabilistic feedback to reduce control overhead. Excessively large or small amount of feedback to RP may cause imbalanced bandwidth consumption. Moreover, increase/decrease of rate depends on current rate. This is also a...

Kuzmanovic et al (2009) Adding Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) Capability to TCP's SYN/ACK packets (RFC5562)
This experimental RFC suggest to extend ECN to SYN-ACK packets of TCP three-way handshake as well. The idea is to use initial window of 1 instead of 2, 3, or 4 for congested network. Note, ECN-capable transport (ECT) is not set on SYN packet, but on SYN-ACK packet. This is...
