[Gllug] What's that network congestion setting called?

[John Winters]

I'm investigating a Linux box (running 2.6.8) which is getting very bad
network performance some of the time.  I recall a network negotiation
field which some routers don't implement correctly and can IIRC cause
symptoms similar to what I'm seeing, but after sleeping on it overnight I
still can't remember what it's called.

Can anyone jog my failing memory please?  It's a bit in a header which
used to be reserved and then became defined but some routers throw a
wobbler if it's set.  If only I could remember the name I could turn it
off on the Linux box to see if that helps.

TIA,
John
