Summary:          This document is ready for publication

In summary, draft-ietf-congcons-01:

- applies only to pseudowires that run over something other than MPLS (e.g., GRE)
- concludes that no additional mechanisms are needed for elastic pseudowires
- concludes that an inelastic pseudowire MAY shutdown when it experiences higher-than-acceptable loss, latency or jitter
- observes that that for TDM PWs, as loss rate increases, higher-than-acceptable loss generally occurs before the fixed-rate TDM PW could cause serious problems for competing congestion-responsive traffic
- Therefore, no additional mechanisms are needed for inelastic pseudowires, either

I see nothing objectionable in the draft. However, its scope is extremely limited and it conclusions are not earthshattering. Nonetheless, the work is sound and deserves publication.
