• [$] More accurate congestion notification for TCP

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Thursday, February 19, 2026 06:40:09
    The "More Accurate Explicit Congestion Notification" (AccECN) mechanism is defined by this
    RFC draft. The Linux kernel has been gaining support for AccECN with
    TCP over the last few releases; the 7.0 release will enable it by default
    for general use. AccECN is a subtle change to how TCP works, but it has
    the potential to improve how traffic flows over both public and private networks.
