Hmm, NSIS protocol suite (new protocol that does path-coupled QoS signaling ala RSVP and firewall/NAT signaling) relies on the use of router alert options for the initial NSIS peer discovery process. Is there any other proposal to get a discovery mechanism like router alert options without the disadvantages of this option?
