Having trouble emailing again so i did some trimming on the original message....

Putting my packet radio hat back on, a source quench message could help disambiguate whether loss in the network is due to congestion or something else (like in wireless, loss due to harsh environments, jamming, mobility).   I also think it is not obvious what you should do when you receive a source quench, but to me trying to understand this is just part of trying to see if we can make things work better.  How about what you could do when you don't receive a source quench but have experienced loss?

How is network coding coming along these days?
