This document describes size, maintenance, and lifecycle concerns around
middleboxes on enterprise networks. But it doesn't describe the
behavior of specific middleboxes, which is the relevant bit for this
discussion.
middleboxes that are willing to let encrypted traffic pass unmolested,
and that don't strip TCP options, aren't a problem for tcpinc.
We know that middleboxes exist; what we won't know without more
measurements is what sort of damage they will inflict on adopters of any
of the proposed forms of tcpinc.
