Title : Inner Space for TCP Options

Abstract:
This document describes an experimental method to extend the limited
space for control options in every segment of a TCP connection. It
can use a dual handshake so that, from the very first SYN segment,
extra option space can immediately start to be used optimistically.
At the same time the dual handshake prevents a legacy server from
getting confused and sending the control options to the application
as user-data. The dual handshake is only one strategy - a single
handshake will usually suffice once deployment has got started. The
protocol is designed to traverse most known middleboxes including
connection splitters, because it sits wholly within the TCP Data. It
also provides reliable ordered delivery for control options.
Therefore, it should allow new TCP options to be introduced i) with
minimal middlebox traversal problems; ii) avoiding incremental
deployment problems with pre-existing servers; iii) without an extra
round of handshaking delay iv) without having to provide its own loss
recovery and ordering mechanism and v) without arbitrary limits on
available space.
