I am having trouble with the mailing list again so tried some editing on the thread.

I think congestion issues were discussed because I remember an ICMP message type called source quench (now deprecated). It was used for notifying a host to reduce the traffic load to a destination.  I don't remember hearing about any actual congestion experiments using this message type. FYI,  I think the reconstitution protocol borrowed ICMP source quench. We used it for telling a host which gateway to use if a packet arrived at a gateway/interface when the packet should have been sent to a different gateway/interface.  Reminder, a RP gateway used gateway centric addressing, not network.
