Hi,
We've submitted a new version of the SOCKS v6 draft.
We've made multiple changes to the protocol based on our experience
implementing it. It is now easier to pick and choose which parts of
SOCKS v6 to implement: all option kinds are now optional (no pun
intended), and no longer have any inter-dependencies or overlap in
functionality. It basically can be stripped down all the way to SOCKS v4
functionality.
We've also moved token window advertisements to the Authentication
Reply, so that the proxy-server RTT has no influence on their timeliness.
You can find a feature-complete message library here:
https://github.com/45G/libsocks6msg . We've also used said library to
implement a (not feature-complete) prototype based on Shadowsocks:
https://github.com/45G/shadowsocks-libev . A full-blown implementation
is in the works.
You can find more SOCKS6-related stuff on the 45G page on Github.
Cheers,
Vlad

Abstract:
The SOCKS protocol is used primarily to proxy TCP connections to
arbitrary destinations via the use of a proxy server. Under the
latest version of the protocol (version 5), it takes 2 RTTs (or 3, if
authentication is used) before data can flow between the client and
the server.
This memo proposes SOCKS version 6, which reduces the number of RTTs
used, takes full advantage of TCP Fast Open, and adds support for
0-RTT authentication.
Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
