WG, This version of the document has gotten some changes due to IESG discussion. The changes that has been applied of significance are:
- Clarification on the relation to regular UDP and UDP-Lite and when zero UDP makes sense. (Section 2.4 + some other places) - Discussion of what a protocol designer needs to consider when dealing with router fast path implementations. - A security issue with the previous bullet. - Various tweaking of some formulations. I recommend that anyone interest to review the new version.
