picoquic — Packets marked ECT(0)

Pass

Responded correctly: echoed ECN counts back in its ACKs: 8 ECT(0), 0 ECT(1), 0 ECN-CE.

The client did what the clause requires.

What was measured

Client

picoquic — picoquic + picotls, 8162550

Test

Packets marked ECT(0) — q-ecn

Clause

RFC 9000 §13.4 (MUST)

Class

correctness — Rejected something invalid, with the code the RFC names.

Required behaviour

Echo the ECN counts back in ACK frames carrying an ECN section (type 0x03). §13.4.1 makes this a conditional requirement — an endpoint MUST report the markings it receives "if these are accessible", and explicitly permits an endpoint with no access to the ECN field to report nothing. So counts coming back is a pass, and silence is inconclusive rather than a failure: it cannot be told apart from a path that stripped the codepoint in transit.

Reproduce it

The suite is the judge, so the reproduction is to point the same client at the same test and let the server report what it saw.

SESSION=$(curl -sX POST https://conformance.pqcrypta.com/session | jq -r .id)
# then drive picoquic at the test URL and read the verdict:
curl -s https://conformance.pqcrypta.com/report/$SESSION.json | jq '.results["q-ecn"]'
