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