Summary

ipv6.h still carries some unused, historic ECN references.

These are incompatible with the ECN signaling adopted by
IETF for both IPv4 and IPv6.

Fortunately, these references are nowhere used. Removing
these definitions should keep it this way in the future.

Event Timeline

We can fix sys/netinet/ip6.h, since this is controlled by FreeBSD. However, fixing the tcpdump header file should be done upstream:ip6.h. Once it it is committed there, the next time tcpdump is updated, the change will come in.

So please remove the fix for contrib/tcpdump/ip6.h from this review and create a pull request for that upstream.

removing /contrib/tcpdump/ip6.h changes, and doing pull request via github on tcpdump repository
