> The most viable compromise proposal seems to be the spin bit That's utterly useless. If the "spin bit" becomes widely used, I intend to write a trivial patch that sets it randomly on each packet. If packets could be dropped unless the bit is set to specific values at specific times, too much session information is leaking to middleboxen. More likely, the state of the bit doesn't matter so setting it randomly will discourage wasting a bit in the protocol with this kind of nonsense in the future.
