Just to avoid any misunderstandings:
- Babel does not use ECN; the marking is due to Dave's local hack;
- Babel is an asynchronous protocol that runs (mostly) over multicast,
not a request-response protocol, so there's no obvious way to carry
an echo bit in it;
- Babel is designed to work well over extremely lossy links (with the
standard implementation working reasonably well at 85% pre-ARQ loss).
