Being able to turn ECN on/off for specific routes would be very useful. Currently we have to turn ECN off for systems connected to the Internet because there are bad routers out there. But I know some routes are ok and want the benefit of ECN on them. In future we should expect to have a situation where increasingly large parts of the Internet are ECN clean so we would want ECN on by default but be able to override it for specific routes that are known to fail.
