Re: [Tsvwg] SCTP: new chunks definition

[Randall Stewart <[e-mail]>]

Opps.

It appears my posting are not going .. need to get the right
from email address..

Bottom line.. Yes I agree with Michael and Brian here. We would
need a far vaster understanding of why one would want to do this.

It does not make sense to me.. I am sure there is more to
it then just the desire not to implement a hash table...

Andrey is most welcome to write a draft on the subject. But I don't
think he will find support in the SCTP community without more
details..
