- Enable Explicit Congestion Notification in TCP.
+ 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).
+ Possible values are:
+ 0 disable ECN
+ 1 ECN enabled
+ 2 Only server-side ECN enabled. If the other end does
