[tcpm] Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-touch-tcpm-sno-00.txt

[Joe Touch <[e-mail]>]

Hi, all,

Regarding the recent discussion on TCPMUX, we've revived some of our 
earlier work on portnames, focusing on just the ability to decouple the 
service identifier from the SYN destination port.

We have both Linux and FreeBSD implementations underway. A revised draft 
has just been submitted with the details, below.

I'm hoping to publish this as an independent submission, but if there's 
interest in running it through TCPM please let me know.

Joe

Abstract:
    This document specifies a TCP option for service numbers. The
    current SYN destination port is used both to indicate the desired
    service and as a connection demultiplexing field. This option
    separates those two functions, retaining the current destination
    port solely for demultiplexing and indicating the service separately
    in a service number option (SNO). By decoupling these two functions,
    SNO allows a larger number of concurrent connections for a single
    service, as might be useful between fixed addresses of proxies.

 



Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
