A couple reasons: (1) The intent isn't to have a spec in this draft for every protocol (we can't). The ones in here serve an illustrative puspose. TCP and SCTP do probing in a fairly different way, so it's nice to include both. (2) AFAIK, the DCCP spec isn't "finished" yet. It seems like it's close, but it would be better not to have this as a dependency. Any protocol should be able to write its own draft, or section of a draft, for PLPMTUD within that protocol. Just because it's not in the probing-method draft doesn't exclude a protocol in any way. -John _______________________________________________ pmtud mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/pmtud
