+        Control use of Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) by SCTP.
+        Like in TCP, ECN is used only when both ends of the SCTP connection
+        indicate support for it. This feature is useful in avoiding losses
+        due to congestion by allowing supporting routers to signal congestion
+        before having to drop packets.
