WH> I would disagree since you don’t always control the addressing and it is better to have an explicit signaling in the protocol what to expect to happen.


Can you kindly provide an example of another standard IETF protocol that has this feature or something similar.

WH> I am not sure how relevant this is but you can find them in SIP e.g. Let have the discussion on th requirements. We already indicated that the usage of SOCKS is too chatty which is an OOB mechanism we propose. In the scenario’s we have in mind it is better to do this in-band in the protocol to avoid the extra latency.

I personally think this could be a trade-off discussion point.
A question would be if we want to update mptcp to carry non-mptcp-related (upper layer) info into the mptcp option in order to reduce latency for specific use cases.

Or, we just use mptcp as it is and accept the latency. SOCKS might be too chatty for this purpose, but I am thinking it will not be an only option.

WH> we are discussing it. If there is a clear advantage of extending this in the protocol I don’t see why we shouldn’t agree to such solution of embedding it in the protocol.

Thanks,
