Hi,

I just learned about an individual submission, which is probably of interest 
not only to the members of these two WGs;

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-kirsch-ietf-tcp-stealth-00


On a first, casual glance, I am wondering if the authors have realized all the 
implications of their suggestion;

There seem to be at least two or three major issues that compromise either the 
working and stability of TCP, or work against the intended "stealthieness" of 
this modification (making it easy for an attacker to identify such sessions, 
provided he is able to actively interfere with segments in transit (ie. cause 
certain segments to be dropped).

Nevertheless, it might be beneficial to discuss the generic idea in a wider 
forum, among brighter minds than me.
