Dear All, My apologies for not being clearer - my intention was not to criticize WG or IAB actions in the past, but to point out that we are now in an escalating game of whack-a-mole with our applications as the moles that NATs and FWs are finding new ways to frustrate. The security guys

Traditionally, it was sufficient for the IETF to publish an RFC specifying requirements or behavior; the purchasing process, through RFIs and RFPs, then cited the long list of RFCs, essentially creating the protocol police force that the IETF doesn't have. That list-of-RFC-numbers approach is

Geoff, things were indeed different then, as long distance bandwidth costs were a serious concern. That has changed. I think the fact that content providers who are paid for that content don't (in effect) pay for the congestion that they cause hasn't changed. But mainly I was interested to see
