Description Richard Scheffenegger freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-01-09 22:08:05 UTC 
While investigating the interaction between ECN and RTO, I noticed that FBSD sends out retransmissions on ECN-enabled flows with the ECT0 codepoint in the
IP header - which is only permissible with ECN++ (work in progress as IETF draft).

This is not a critical deviation from the specs, only a lack of conformance.
