Whoops. CONFIG_INET_ECN: x x x x Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) allows routers to notify x x clients about network congestion, resulting in fewer dropped packets x x and increased network performance. This option adds ECN support to the x x Linux kernel, as well as a sysctl (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn) which x x allows ECN support to be disabled at runtime. x x x x Note that, on the Internet, there are many broken firewalls which x x refuse connections from ECN-enabled machines, and it may be a while x x before these firewalls are fixed. Until then, to access a site behind x x such a firewall (some of which are major sites, at the time of this x x writing) you will have to disable this option, either by saying N now x x or by using the sysctl. x x x x If in doubt, say N.
