AFAIK, there isn't much to find. There is some code for 
housekeeping of the ECT and CE bits in the DIFSERV field, but what may
be most telling is,

  $ cd /usr/src/sys
  $ fgrep -r TH_ECE net*
  netinet/tcp.h:#define   TH_ECE  0x40
  netinet/tcp.h:#define   TH_FLAGS        (TH_FIN|TH_SYN|TH_RST|TH_ACK|TH_URG|TH_ECE|TH_CWR)

The CWR flag gets the same result. They are not actually used
anywhere.
