Re: [tsvwg] New Version Notification for draft-daiya-tsvwg-udp-options-protocol-number-00.txt

Hi, all,

Although this seems of some possible use at some point, it seems like it might be supported by an ExID for now.

Note that it’s also not all that different from the SNO option that has an ExID already for TCP (and there’s no reason ExIDs need to be newly allocated for UDP; they could be reused). E.g.:https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-touch-tcpm-sno/

The primary purpose of SNO was to decouple the service info from the destination port semantics. This proposal tries to decouple things even further, saying that the port semantics are defined one layer at a time. Although we can start that at UDP (or TCP) with things like SNO, there’s no mechanism I know of to continue that demuxing within other layers, e.g., TLS/DTLS, etc.

Overall, seems like what you want is TAPS but encoded at each protocol layer - how do we get this to work beyond just UDP?
