<snip...> The draft does allow for a negotiation per connection for the implementations that wish to take advantage of it. However, an implementation can by default choose to use a 'connected-mode MTU' e.g. 32K always. It can then, for every connection choose to, negotiate to this value and if it is not workable fall back to the UD mode and deny the connection mode. The ARP entries hold the connected mode flags thereby keeping track of the mode to use per destination. I'd be more than happy to discuss other implementation issues. As I noted earlier it will also help refine the draft.
