ECN and other sites

ECN and other sites

[Michael B. Trausch]

I've kinda been watching the ECN discussion there, and I have 2.4.0 and
noticed that after I'd installed it, I couldn't get to my favorite search
engine (Dogpile.com).  I'd assume they don't support it either, because
when I "echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn" then it goes away.  I
notified them about the problem and pointed them to a few webpages with
information and links regarding ECN.

Is there a kernel config option somewhere to disable that, or do I just
need to make sure to put that echo line in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local?

Yes, you enabled it in the networking options.  CONFIG_INET_ECN.

Has anyone a compiled list of patches for all the firewalls that block
ECN suitable to mail them to the firewall administrators?
