Thank you, I am really interested.

I will try how it behaves for me in various circumstances.

What you say, though, is probably true - and the situation is even
more accentuated when considering that different TCP stacks react to
ECN and packet drops differently - a single drop percent will not be
enough.

Which ofcourse brings us to SFB - with Stochastic Fair Blue, the drop
percentage for the non-ECN flow should be significantly lower and the
connections should transfer more or less fairly.
