This is really not the right forum for this suggestion, it's better brought up with IETF folks who do RFC's on TCP et al.
Yeah but I thought this would be a nifty idea for firewalls; SYN flood protecting a huge network isn't a whole lot of fun - it consumes huge amounts of memory if one is to do it right. That's why I brought it up here first. I reckon I could use some support before trying to push this onto the IETF people's workload:-) Regards, /Mike -- Mikael Olsson, EnterNet Sweden AB, Box 393, S-891 28 ÖRNSKÖLDSVIK Phone: +46-(0)660-105 50 Fax: +46-(0)660-122 50 Mobile: +46-(0)70-248 00 33 WWW: http://www.enternet.se E-mail: mikael.olsson () enternet se
