Re: [tsvwg] I-D Action: draft-ietf-tsvwg-udp-options-08.txt

[Joe Touch <[e-mail]>]

Hi, all,

This is a quick update to cover the following:

- update conventions to cite "standard" caps-only text (was that
seriously necessary?)

- remove 'experimentally' throughout; this is standards-track

- add the extended length format

- correct the lengths in the summary table

- require post-options area of surplus to be zero-fill

- fix the figure and description of OCS to use a 16-bit checksum

- define OCS as required when UDP CS != 0

- change ACS from a 16-bit CRC to CRC32c

There are more than a few other changes underway based on feedback from
the last meeting. The concept behind those changes will be posted for
feedback when developed further for WG feedback before being included in
the next update.

I.e., please don't treat the fact that the rest hasn't changed as
anything beyond "TBD".

Comments on *these changes* welcome, of course.

Thanks!

Joe
