RE: what is the purpose of FECN?

[Montgomery, Robert WARCOM Contractor]

Isn't it that " the path the packet IS GOING TO TAKE to get to the
destination is experiencing congestion?"

The "F" in FECN means forward, so I choose "a."

The packet arrives at the dest, notifying the dest that it experienced
congestion along the way, so that rules out "b." Which is actually the
correct answer if the question were "What is the purpose of BECN"

"c." is not a function of FECN nor BECN.

Sure wish "the router" was defined ;-) but this does keep it realistic ;-)
