What I am actually more shocked about is that you did not point out need to support this on AIX, SunOS, SCO and few others dated ones ;)

If indeed requirement is to support decent authentication on wide spectrum of operating systems why not consider application level approach of SSL/TLS and leave the need for TCP kernel hacking alone ? rfc5246 ?

Routers support it today so would any unix flavor as it will come with the application if not already there.

    o AO is nice paperware but does not have significant running code on
      servers or routers.
I don't understand your line of argument. If vendor X is providing
support of AO on his equipment what is a problem to provide
downloadable linux kernel module to be able to establish such session
end to end ?

this may come as a shock, but a linux kernel module does not work well
on unix, solaris, ...
