FWIW, GRO/GSO give no end of headaches to the idea of new TCP options, esp. the 
current ones to extend option space after the SYN (draft-ietf-tcpm-tcp-edo).

Although I appreciate their zeal for optimization, implementers of GRO/GSO 
still need to play by the rules of TCP and UDP. It’s not clear they are (e.g., 
coalescing packets with different unknown options), and when they don’t, I want 
to be clear that it is they that are the problem.

I agree that the common Unix socket interface has performance flaws, but 
perhaps it’s that interface that needs to evolve.
