How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T14442696 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Explicit Congestion Experienced
Explicit Congestion Experienced (ECE) is a TCP/IP header flag used in Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) to indicate that network congestion has been detected without dropping packets.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
