Configuring UDP Sockets for ECN for Common Platforms

Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) applies to all transport protocols in principle. However, it had limited deployment for UDP until QUIC became widely adopted. As a result, documentation of UDP socket APIs for ECN on various platforms is sparse. This document records the results of experimenting with these APIs in order to get ECN working on UDP for Chromium on Apple, Linux, and Windows platforms. This document provides a snapshot of ECN state of affairs as supported by these platforms at the time of writing. Readers should refer to the documentations of the various platforms for an up-to- date information on the matter.
