Adam is a member of the TCPM list :)

I am curious, out of the 1,07% of Hosts where ECN negotiation was
successful, is there any indication that internet routers are actually
making use of the ECT / CE codepoints in the IP header?

Ie. When loading a page from those web servers, were any CE marked
segments received?

Or is ECN only negotiated between hosts, but never actually used to
deliver a benefit (which might explain the extremely low adoption rate
almost 10 years after standardization.

Also, your research was done in 2008 - Microsoft has introduced ECN
support with Windows Vista / 7, is there any indication of rising levels
of public ECN support, or still a falling trend?

I'm asking as there seems to be renewed interest in having
ECN-singalling in private networks again...

Best regards,

Richard Scheffenegger
