    [$] More accurate congestion notification for TCP

    Wed, 18 Feb 2026 15:38:19 +0000

    Description:
    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.
