RFC793 says 

Reserved:  6 bits

Reserved for future use.  Must be zero.


The last statement is the cause of all confusions. s/Must/Should/ would
have been better.

If it doesn't work, force it.  If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.

It is not a good debate. Devices can be upgraded. Net admins should do
their job.

Debian default does not refuse to talk, it is the broken
routers/firewalls which do.

Should we stop progress because admins do not their job. I do not think
so.

I would not call reasonable dropping packets carrying bits of a protocol
rated as Proposed Standard by IETF.
