Subject: Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) now enabled on
	 ftp/filehub.kernel.org

I have enabled Explicit Congestion Notification on zeus.kernel.org, the
machine which contains ftp.kernel.org and filehub.kernel.org.  This means
that some sites which are behind broken firewalls may have trouble
accessing it.  If you are a mirror site, I would appreciate it if you
took the time and verified that you can still access filehub.kernel.org.

Jeff Garzik has a very good page listing ways to fix your firewall to
deal with these kinds of problems.  If someone reports problems with ECN,
I suggest pointing them to it:

In particular Cisco have production-level fixes out for all their
affected products.
