Rich,

Well, I didn't write this to merely get things off my chest.
I have been active in the IETF for over 25 years, and this is the first time I 
have seen an attack pass IETF LC.

Regarding using 5-tuples, random dynamic + 443 port numbers are mostly useless,
and server IP address does not provide granular application classification.
I don't really care if the server belongs to Google since the same IP address 
can be used for about 20 different applications
with wildly diverging forwarding policy requirements. Gmail can be delayed for 
seconds, search has intermediate delay but low data-rate,
Youtube DASH has critical delay issues at startup and then none afterwards, but 
high bandwidth, etc.
And a large percentage of the traffic may be on an operator CDN, so that 
different OTTs share IP addresses.

And that covers only the traffic management issue I raised.
Regarding the more serious malware detection issue, I assume that you expect me 
to rely on the RFC 3514 marking in the IP header?

Y(J)S

I appreciate that sometimes it's just good to get something off your chest.

Why doesn't TCP-level filtering and control work? Nobody's hiding the 
five-tuple.
