What impacton Nmapwill the changes described in [RFC 6864] have, if and when the changes are implemented? After a quick skim-read, I suggest that some OS detection tests might be affected (IP ID sequence generation and Shared IP ID sequence tests, for example).
Thanks for sending this in. Probably it won't require any code changes in Nmap. If the new standard causes OSes to change the packets that they send, it is likely that we will pick up the changes in new fingerprints. I don't know if there are new probes required in order to detect the changed behavior.
