tcp_ecn - INTEGER

	Enable Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) in TCP. ECN is only

	used when both ends of the TCP flow support it. It is useful to

	avoid losses due to congestion (when the bottleneck router supports

	ECN).

	Control use of Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) by TCP.

	ECN is used only when both ends of the TCP connection indicate

	support for it.  This feature is useful in avoiding losses due

	to congestion by allowing supporting routers to signal

	congestion before having to drop packets.

	Possible values are:

		0 disable ECN

		1 ECN enabled

		2 Only server-side ECN enabled. If the other end does

		  not support ECN, behavior is like with ECN disabled.

		0 Disable ECN.  Neither initiate nor accept ECN.

		1 Always request ECN on outgoing connection attempts.

		2 Enable ECN when requested by incomming connections

		  but do not request ECN on outgoing connections.

	Default: 2
