We can’t - there’s NOTHING we can do to make a legacy receiver drop packets with unknown options, regardless of the flags per se. All we can do is design them so the options and data are invisible together, which LITE+FRAG already supports. > > > Joe, I think that you are missing an important point here, namely that the "drop if unrecognized" flag (or Option Kind encoding rule) is proposed for the benefit of ***option aware*** receivers, not for the benefit of legacy receivers. > > > FRAG+LITE already provides the behavior you want. The flag option fails to provide correct behavior for unidirectional or failed soft-state receivers - both of which are non-starters. A key requirement is that legacy receivers can silently ignore all options. Here is the necessary requirements and text: " Options that cannot be ignored by a receiver due to side effects or other requirements MAY be sent. An option that cannot be ignored is indicated by the high order of the option type being set to 1 (if the high order bit of the option type is 0 then the option can be safely ignored). If an option that cannot be ignored is received by a node that does not recognize the option then the packet MUST be dropped. The following requirements ensure this: - Options that cannot be ignored MUST NOT be sent in packets that do not use FRAG+LITE format. This prevents a legacy receiver from incorrectly ignoring an unknown option. - If an option is received with the high order bit of the bit of the option type set to 1 and the receiver does not recognize the option, then the packet MUST be dropped. This covers the case where a receiver that processes UDP options however doesn't support a particular received option that cannot be ignored. " This requirements yield a correct protocol for ALL CASES including unidirectional, failed soft-state receivers, multicast, NAT transitions, anycast, and simple unicast.
