Here is another interesting point in the IESG ballots from Erik Kline
that it would be good to get list feedback on:
[S3.7.1, comment]
* In networks where NAT64 is employed, the default MSS assumed by a sender
will differ from the default assumed by a receiver, since the address
families sent and received will be different.
This may bolster the case for MAY-3 being a SHOULD (or even a MUST ;-) but,
more to the point, may be a caveat to note w.r.t. SHLD-5.
Alas, I could find no discussion of MSS option handling in RFC 6146,
so I wonder if that's something that we missed...
For reference, MAY-3 and SHLD-5 come from:
TCP implementations SHOULD send an MSS option in every SYN segment
when its receive MSS differs from the default 536 for IPv4 or 1220
for IPv6 (SHLD-5), and MAY send it always (MAY-3).
It's not entirely clear to me whether there is something within the
793bis scope to do about this, or if it should be saved as a possible
bit of "future work" for maintenance regarding NAT64 and transport
notions of MSS (which should impact more than just TCP).
