Hi George,



WG Chair hat off:

One of the problems here is that every term used in this general space is
already over-loaded.  Further the emphasis implied by a particular term
varies with context (and consequently with the reader's background).  For
instance the term Traffic Management has very strong connotations for those
involved in the ATM Forum.

ATM Traffic Management had to do with things like supporting different classes of traffic and providing congestion notification. That does not seem to be such a bad connotation.

Francois
