> -experiencing congestion.
+It is possible for faulty network devices on path to corrupt or erroneously drop
+all IP packets with ECN Capable Transport (ECT) codepoints set.  To provide
+robust connectivity in the presence of such devices, each endpoint independently
+verifies and enables use of ECN.  Even if not setting ECT codepoints on packets
+it transmits, the endpoint SHOULD provide feedback about ECN markings received
+if they are accessible.
+
+To verify both that a path supports ECN and that the peer can provide ECN
+feedback, an endpoint initially sets the ECT(0) codepoint in the IP header of
+all outgoing packets {{!RFC8311}}.
+
+If all packets with ECT codepoints are dropped by a network device, endpoints
+can detect loss of the packets and MAY cease setting ECT codepoints in
+subsequent packets.  As one concrete strategy, an endpoint could disable setting
+of ECT codepoints if Initial packets with ECT codepoints set are deemed lost.

How many initial packets?  All, 1?
