"Identification Extension Options for the Internet Protocol" represents a first step in fully embracing the fragmentation and reassembly services that were intended as core functions for the Internet from the beginning. Together with "IP Parcels and Advanced Jumbos", these technologies support true packet size diversity for both IPv4 and IPv6.

Title: Identification Extension Options for the Internet Protocol Author: Fred L. Templin Name: draft-templin-intarea-ipid-ext-03.txt Pages: 13 Dates: 2023-08-30 Abstract: The Internet Protocol, version 4 (IPv4) header includes a 16-bit Identification field in all packets, but this length is too small to ensure reassembly integrity even at moderate data rates in modern networks. Even for Internet Protocol, version 6 (IPv6), the 32-bit Identification field included when a Fragment Header is present may be smaller than desired for some intended uses. This specification addresses these limitations by defining both an IPv4 header option and a corresponding IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Option for Identification Extension.

Title: IP Parcels and Advanced Jumbos Author: Fred L. Templin Name: draft-templin-intarea-parcels-67.txt Pages: 48 Dates: 2023-08-30 Abstract: IP packets (both IPv4 and IPv6) contain a single unit of transport layer protocol data which becomes the retransmission unit in case of loss. Transport layer protocols including the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and reliable transport protocol users of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) prepare data units known as segments which the network layer packages into individual IP packets each containing only a single segment. This document presents new constructs known as IP Parcels and Advanced Jumbos. IP parcels permit a single packet to include multiple segments as a "packet-of-packets", while advanced jumbos offer significant operational advantages over basic jumbograms for transporting truly large singleton segments. IP parcels and advanced jumbos provide essential building blocks for improved performance, efficiency and integrity while encouraging larger Maximum Transmission Units (MTUs) in the Internet.
