https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=221665
Bug ID: 221665
Summary: tcp_ecn: doc says default is 2, but should be 5
Product: Networking
Version: 2.5
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: IPV4
Assignee: stephen@networkplumber.org
Reporter: pedretti.fabio@gmail.com
CC: corbet@lwn.net, pabeni@redhat.com
Regression: No
Here: https://docs.kernel.org/networking/ip-sysctl.html#:~:text=tcp_ecn
tcp_ecn - INTEGER
...
Default: 2
However it looks like the default was recently changed:
"In previous kernels, the value of tcp_ecn is, by default, two, [...] The new
default value is five, [...]"
