I think I forgot to follow up on this, sorry! So, with my WG co-chair hat on: The agreement at the San Francisco IETF meeting on the Urgent Pointer definition was: 1) Adopt this document as a WG item 2) Change the definition of the Urgent Pointer (defined in RFC 1122) to match the definition on page 17 of RFC 793, which is what most implementations use. 3) New applications should be discouraged from using the Urgent Pointer 4) TCP implementations still need to implement the Urgent Pointer for existing applications that use it 5) All applications that do make use of the Urgent Pointer must use the SO_OOBINLINE socket option to keep all of the data in sequence; applications that don't use SO_OOBINLINE and continue to use the old, broken BSD implementation that actually removes bytes of data from data stream are out of scope for the IETF, since that is not part of the TCP protocol. Please respond with whether you do or do not support adopting this as a WG item, even if you were at the meeting, so that we have a record on the mailing list. Now with my WG chair hat off: I support adopting this as a WG item. -David Borman, TCPM WG co-chair On May 19, 2009, at 10:01 AM, Fernando Gont wrote: > Hello, folks, > > I'm planning to work on a revision of the urgent data I-D anytime > soon. > I was wondering if there are any plans for proceeding with this I-D. > > There was some discussion on-list about TCP urgent data, and IIRC Dave > Borman had suggested (hat off) that this I-D be adopted as a WG item. > > Thoughts?
