existing routers and other devices on the Internet can support ECN.
In fact, some older devices actually treat ECN packets as invalid,
and discard them altogether. This explains the problem with NASDAQ
and E-Trade's web sites, both of which (as of a few days ago) did
not support ECN packets. There are other sites with this problem as
well, and in fact Internet.com had to upgrade some of its own
equipment several months ago as a result of this new protocol."
