Hi,

Is anyone using the DSCP ECN bits to any great extent? Does it require
end-host support in the stack to actually work?

Cheers,
Christian

Hi Christian,

The ECN capable transport (ECT) bit would need to be set by the data
sender to indicate that the end-points of the transport protocol are
ECN-capable. The intermediate routers will need to honor these bits as well.
