The ECN marks were the only source of congestion information, and
going into congestion collapse (dropping a lot of ECN packets and
causing loss of signal) was unrecoverable.
The sender's slow-start ramp clock now tracks a measured RTT to avoid
overshooting into congestion collapse on the previously fixed (14ms)
doubling on long-delay (e.g. 100ms) links.
The flow allocator now carries a periodic heartbeat/ack to keep RTT
estimates up-to-date. The heartbeat also serves as a congestion
collapse detector: consecutive heartbeat losses will go into loss
recovery, halving the window and pausing Additive Increase until the
path is clear. The DT component now has a max_rtt config parameter that
serves as a hint for the layer RTT to optimize slow-start for
low-latency networks.
These two mechanisms follow TCP, however only during slow start up to
the first ECN signal and to recover from a total collapse until the
ECN signal returns. MB-ECN is still fully RTT-independent in the AI/PD
region. A shorter RTT path will just reach its equal fair share faster
than a longer RTT path.

Congestion avoidance is a property of the layer, orthogonal to ARQ
and to flow control: FRCP retransmits and lets the peer pace the
sender, per flow, end-to-end; the IPCP paces path aggregates. Each
signal means one thing: a loss triggers a retransmission, a mark
means congestion, the peer window means a slow receiver. Every flow
is paced by the same rate law whatever its QoS, so a greedy raw
sender shares a bottleneck fairly with a reliable stream.
The unit of control is the (destination address, QoS cube)
aggregate: all flows toward that destination share one controller
and one rate; a start-time fair-queuing pacer divides the rate
across them by deadline instead of blocking the send path, and a
new flow rides the aggregate's estimates at its current rate, with
no probing of its own. Slow start runs once per aggregate.
The congestion signal is a multi-bit magnitude: forwarders mark
packets with their standing queue depth, MAX-combined across hops,
so a packet carries the deepest queue on its path. The receiver
feeds back a time-integral mean over a window that adapts to the
flow's byte rate, measuring a slow flow with the same fidelity as a
fast one. The sender runs AIMD scaled by elapsed wall-clock time,
which makes the steady-state allocation RTT-independent.
The PCI gains one byte: the path capacity as a quarter-log2 code.
Forwarders estimate their egress rate from busy-period drain and
MIN-stamp the byte, the receiver returns the window minimum with
its feedback, and the sender scales its rate floor and additive
slope to the bottleneck (C / 32). A deep cut implies a backlogged
bottleneck and a backlogged bottleneck advertises its capacity, so
the scaled floor is live exactly when recovery needs it: the probe
heals a halving in seconds at any link rate, and the floor bounds
the deepest hole to a factor 32 below the bottleneck.

The policies were all in a single folder pol/, and have been moved to
a folder per component/mechanism to keep things a bit more orderly.
