    tcp: be more strict before accepting ECN negociation · bd14b1b2
    Eric Dumazet authored
    It appears some networks play bad games with the two bits reserved for
    ECN. This can trigger false congestion notifications and very slow
    transferts.
    
    Since RFC 3168 (6.1.1) forbids SYN packets to carry CT bits, we can
    disable TCP ECN negociation if it happens we receive mangled CT bits in
    the SYN packet.
