if QDCOUNT is defined as [0|1] then we have 15 new bits of freedom in the header.
What would be interesting uses of the flow-label? Oh wait.. that's right, nobody really knows at scale how to use flow-label either. I tend to "use it for 15 bits of signalling" because there are a lot of things I wish were signalled from client to server. "I am new code" "I am at least not ancient code" "I'm the same as that other guy you saw over <there>" "I like TCP and want to do a persisting session" "tell me if you are doing a|b|c|d" "I like chocolate and want a pony" maybe the truth is, we've got 15 bits of zero in the header forever, amen. (I deliberately didn't put this in the draft- post from Ray so as not to pollute an objective discussion of what it is or is not the value proposition) clue-stick hits welcome. Avoid the stomach. -G _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
