From: Graham Murray <graham@webwayone.com> Date: Thu, 04 Oct 2001 10:53:59 +0000 Are there any plans to implement RFC 3168 para 6.1.1.1, which deals with interworking with systems which either drop or send RST to ECN-setup SYN, in the Linux networking code? No, these suggestions will never be implemented. The urging from us are precisely the reason why this section lists these techniques as "MAY" instead of "MUST" for an implementation of ECN. It is our position that these suggestions cause more problems than they solve. You may scan the tcp-impl list and netdev list archives to see the details of why we feel this way. Please do not instigate a thread consisting of a reiteration of these facts, check the archives instead before asking more questions. Franks a lot, David S. Miller davem@redhat.com - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
