Hi Folks, Juniper is interested in working on TCP-AO (RFC 5925) Support in the FreeBSD head. Juniper's tentative timeframe is to have something ready to commit by the end of 2016. Three questions for the community: A) Is anyone else working on this already? B) Is anyone interested in working with Juniper to spec out the interfaces or to test this? C) What should happen to the TCP_SIGNATURE option? Is it used, such that we should maintain support for it? Or, do we simply remove it? (By default, I would keep the functionality. However, I imagine we might end up reimplementing some of it as part of adding TCP-AO. The question is whether it is worth the effort to do that to retain the support. If no one has strong feelings, I suspect we'll keep the TCP_SIGNATURE functionality for at least a few releases.) Jonathan
