Hi Alfie,

my concern is with the use of a static ISN for each 4-tuple; this
significantly increases the chance of a collision between sessions (ie.
when the sender terminates a sluggish earlier session, some segments of
that last session will very likely be in-window for a session that was
started a short time later).

+1, and I haven't seen a satisfactory answer to this yet.

FWIW, the doc refers to TCP MD5, which has been deprecated and replaced by TCP-AO. TCP-AO has an experimental extension to support NAT traversal.

Additionally, responding with a TCP RST isn't the best response if you're trying to hide from port knocking. Silence is best in that case.
