Tim and Gorry, thank you for this meeting report-out. I have a draft out right
now that I
think addresses most if not all of the points regarding larger packet sizes.
The draft was
aligned with intarea for a long time but was recently re-aligned with 6man and
refactored
to focus on IPv6. I did l
Herbie, an alternative to trying to force advanced integrity checks into
hardware is for the
source to include a higher fidelity integrity check along with the jumbo, then
the destination
gets to verify the integrity after the jumbo has traversed the path. That way,
there is still
good integrity
At some point, it becomes ridiculous to keep band-aiding 40+ year old hardware
designs with ever increasing software complexity. The hard thing to know is
when you hit that tipping point.
