> If SPUD comes with flags that say "this is a connection establishment packet" (SYN-like) and another flag that matches ACK, then middle boxes can track connection establishment for all traffic based on SPUD, without needing to know anything more about the traffic. This is the functionality I'm talking about.

I think Christian said much the same thing in an earlier email:

Why is the first packet arriving at a middlebox for which it has no binding not treated as such a "connection establishment packet"? Why does a bit need to be set for it to be treated as such?
