            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, [...]"

Please address this.
Thanks.
