Re: [tcpm] TCP EDO and SYN-EXT-OPT finalization

Hi, all,

I’d like to request:

a) WGLC for EDO

b) some sort of WG decision on whether to adopt it as experimental (and, AFAICT, go to WGLC, given we’re already been around the block with it) or give me the go-ahead to submit it as individual experimental

Both drafts are active through April, so I’ll hold on re-issuing until (b).

Thanks,

At the moment, it seems like QUIC has solved the burning need we had for TCP options space, by attracting all the work that would normally need more options. However, after many years of discussion about how to handle this for TCP, and many candidates, the EDO approach was the one the working group was able to get consensus around, and we really should wrap up and publish it, IMHO.
