Apple Macintosh
Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6 implements ECN support for TCP. It is controlled using the following boolean sysctl variables:
net.inet.tcp.ecn_negotiate_in
net.inet.tcp.ecn_initiate_out
The first enables ECN on incoming connections that already have ECN flags set; the second tries to initiate outgoing connections with ECN enabled. Both variables default to 0, but can be set to 1 to enable the respective behavior:
sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.ecn_negotiate_in=1
sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.ecn_initiate_out=1
To make the settings persistent, put following lines in /etc/sysctl.conf:
net.inet.tcp.ecn_initiate_out=1
net.inet.tcp.ecn_negotiate_in=1

Famous quotes containing the word apple:
“The apple tree has been celebrated by the Hebrews, Greeks, Romans, and Scandinavians. Some have thought that the first human pair were tempted by its fruit. Goddesses are fabled to have contended for it, dragons were set to watch it, and heroes were employed to pluck it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
