Hi Wes, Please see inline.

From Section 6.2, I got the sense that the implementation is aware of particular ExID values specifically, to know if they should be reported as 2 or 4 byte values. [Med] 2-byte IDs are reported in tcpSharedOptionExID16 while 4-byte IDs are reported in tcpSharedOptionExID32. Are you expecting the implementation to have an exhaustive list of all of the ExIDs in use to understand the difference between 2 and 4 byte usage? [Med] Yes because otherwise an implem can’t unambiguously identify and extract ExIDs. We do provide a pointer to the registered ExIDs: == Additional Information: See assigned ExIDs at [IANA-TCP-EXIDs]. == Please let me know if you still think a clarification is needed to the draft. Thanks. I don't quite understand how this is supposed to work at the sampling point, since it's the TCP implementation that interprets the option and determines whether it is to be interpreted as containing (1) no ExID, (2) a 16-bit ExID, (3) a 32-bit ExID. This information is not available within the protocol to a third party. The third party would need a list of ExIDs in-use in order to understand them. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ce message et ses pieces jointes peuvent contenir des informations confidentielles ou privilegiees et ne doivent donc pas etre diffuses, exploites ou copies sans autorisation.
