I would like them to be informed that the "www.list.org" web-server appears to be behind a broken firewall or router that discards packets from people using TCP_ECN extension.... I.e. linux 2.4 or 2.6 kernel's default configuration. Some *BSD variants include ECN with a 'fallback' mechanism so that such users can still connect, just ..slowly.. in this circumstance.
I haven't heard of any other complaints of this sort, and this is a pretty heavily trafficked machine, especially by people running various distributions of Linux (both being GNU code and all).
However, if you can demonstrate the problems with tcpdump or other packet sniffing/capture tools, I'm sure that this is something they will check into.
But still, this doesn't excuse that server at [www.list.org, mail.zork.org, strongbadia.list.org, list.org, 206.131.226.62] still breaks communication with TCP_ECN clients...
I'm not sure who the day-to-day administrator is for that machine. I suspect you're going to have to report this problem to Barry Warsaw ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), and if he doesn't have direct control over that machine then he will contact the people who do.
If you don't get a reply from Barry in a couple of days about this issue (i.e., more than a canned auto-reply), let me know and I'll try to find out who the appropriate person/people is/are.
