Re: [nbs] NBS and TCP connection identification

Hi,

If consensus is that this is the goal, then the BOF should have
participation from OS vendors indicating an interest in taking on this
burden. 

The BOF will also need to explain why this work belongs in IETF,
rather than in other SDOs.

Christian's paper proposed changes to protocols, such as transport
protocol handshakes.
The BOF should explain in detail how the changes proposed would happen
only on hosts, not on routers, switches, etc.
