Whether the IETF says anything explicitly or not, they're producing artifacts of less value to their customers. Standards-compliant stacks will emit TCP options in ways that such vendors evidently don't expect. The IETF standard reflects a consensus among designers and implementers that there's no constraint on TCP option ordering. The time to argue about it is past; live with it or produce crappy products. - -- Ted Faber <[email protected]> Engineering Specialist Computer Systems Research Department 310-336-7373 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - https://gpgtools.org iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJXmmcHAAoJEFNjQnOBW8uOHokP/i5rTEOdxTrn2QgsWYNgv7ae IfqAEaYVQCmCOS9hZIPXrm31XB8RI3uVAmfTtFc7tZYRO4CG8+XcOuPzUtZRan7Q 3k7XddaBRF3ScD/gCQCqjt80yxcwQUdTDv5Rnh6WJW1GKPIP2vCT/0rQZxc5nK3l BfWyhtDeJ4qPgVCqMD+eQdy/W1iKJVKUcw+MXr3J+F5VM08SFEkaw98qDpwkGK9Q 4+USYlVXpyNHIpU1shtDz3KFEl17hIl6LEkSylsh8JuPgSeoO1pL53nJuCYPgPqQ IDIrqMp9LCfnQwReSIfh/zqTc+yElMmo7JaV1bX+2jEp402BPIJjNclUf0leUp0Q cmhS9K6HSNdHtB3xSDpfWnhsaGsPK7k3FYFA6p9CGBSla7duBKkjMG/+N7aR4nIi PMnMDJpbnCZW3LtTBm/WJwDTA1yCmdvfYmLGTh7Xn9kOUCFYVJ0hczoxQFwDLup/ aZnHdKs9BlGM/L2KYt7pU8//mxH59JGeGDaWS2K84Dm3isPEK3l9vQzzGn1hJkYU IOivzkYulEEfsjaICQe9bWnzW9f+kkriUdSUzGxgFg2zAPgSWV78yqKEjLZuB+rc kP+6wcq4bDZ1WKQ7nCVOtUiTzKPZbVKmYOZBRd/ob+4mJzk4wuuXfxCy+k2JOOVT fXY0a5fMzr1+DR/h31Qw =KZWl -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
