I think it is the same point in the stack, yes. In fact, the discussions
that led to my suggestion using "connection id" as the fine-grained
identifier for a pool also prompted me to realize that the new, IP
Endpoint (IP-EP) module also needs to provide common congestion control,
as I commented in my parallel proposal to SLAP.
