You won't be shocked to discover that vendors considered their dorking to be "secret sauce", that differentiated their products from their competitors, and were not lining up to tell us what they were doing. > Spencer, That reminds me of the olden days when some dorker providers were parsing HTTP and replacing ads with their own :-) > So, unless someone can convince the working group that documenting the dorkers can be completed in finite time and space, I'd discourage expanding the scope of this draft, at this time. > it might be good to clarify the draft that only uses cases of transport information being observed are in scope. As I said, the potential tussle happens if the transport protocol designer decides to make some transport header information visible and doesn't consider that the network may then modify the information-- I believe this is prevented in QUIC since the plaintext parts of the QUIC header are authenticated, but that might not be the case for other transport protocols.
