Who's forcing? You have to *SPECIFICALLY* enable it in the config, ignoring the notice in the help text that there are "many" sites that will be unaccessible to you with this feature turned on. In a (barely) related note, I'm reminded of SYN cookies. Are there certain firewalls/hosts out there that choke on these as well? If not, why are they still disabled by default, not only required to be config'd in, but to set a sysctl each run. (Even more work then ECN!) Also, is there any way to force SYN cookies for all connections, not just have them sent out when the queue is full? /jmd (Who is waiting for the ZDNet story, "Linux 2.4 baned from .uk") - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
