[network] IETF discussions on network control

Hi all,

Back in November, I described a very high level concept of an API that 
would let Web application developers adapt to the network conditions in 
which their app operates:
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-web-mobile/2014Nov/0026.html

(this was one of the motivations behind the networking task force
charter
https://github.com/w3c-webmob/networking-tf-charter/blob/master/charter.md )

I was chatting with Frode the other day, and he pointed me at some
recent discussions in a similar space at the Dallas IETF meeting:
> The presentation at the TSVWG meeting at the IETF92 was "Mobile
> Throughput Guidance Exposure":
> www.ietf.org/proceedings/92/slides/slides-92-tsvwg-12.pptx. It's
> based on the two personal drafts (not official WG documents):
>
> -          Requirements and reference architecture for Mobile
> Throughput Guidance Exposure
> (draft-sprecher-mobile-tg-exposure-req-arch):
> https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-sprecher-mobile-tg-exposure-req-arch/
>
>  -          Mobile Throughput Guidance Inband Signaling Protocol
> (draft-flinck-mobile-throughput-guidance):
> https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-flinck-mobile-throughput-guidance/

I understand that there is no consensus on whether such a proposal would 
be in fact effective, or has credible chances of being adopted; but I 
thought I would report it here since it relates to our previous 
discussions on the topic.
