I've written a small iptables target for the iptables 'mangle' chain, which allows users to remove the ECN bits of the IPv4 header ::on a per-rule basis. It forces the ECN bits of the IPv4 header to

So this target is doing what is described in section 18.1.13 of RFC 3168. You might run into a problem when an upstream router marked the packet instead of dropping it. By setting the codepoint to 0
Mh, I should have read the full RFC :(. Ok. Well, we could restrict the usage of the iptables target to the LOCAL_OUT hook, but this would limit its possibilities. I don't need to clear the ECT codep

Yes. The ECN IP header bits are set by intermediate routers which are not required to examine the TCP header to tell if ECN should be used for this flow (e.g. in load-balancing or failover situations

The RFC states that SYN packets MUST NOT set ECT. So when the TCP connection is initiated, the ECN-capability is negotiated only by the two TCP flags ECE and CWR. If you clear those, ECN cannot be es
