FWIW, I also think that the security section should be a little more clear on the following: - if you want TCP security, you need IPsec or TCP-AO anything else protects only a small fraction of TCP control (tcpcrypt) or no TCP control at all (TLS) - all other "security" measures only partially hinder attacks at best (they might be better at anti-tracking than attack resistance) e.g., ISN generation, RST sequence number checks, etc. Joe
