When will ETCP be in linux kernels? Is there a patch?

[David L. Nicol]

It's time for the annual question and answer:
Will ETCP

http://www.chem.ucla.edu/~beichuan/etcp/

be appearing in linux kernels any time soon?  We have ECN...

A working implementation (blessed by Christian Huitama) is IMO a defacto

No, it works -- if you set up a BSD system and apply their patch,
the second image loads fully too -- I did it once, and it worked
just like it is supposed to.
