Yep, IIUC there are some implementations but no real deployment. I think part of that was due to a lack of implementation on some systems, not sure of the details though. And some people were also I think trying to improve that implementation situation, so maybe they've made progress which'd be great. Even so, whenever I've spoken with router people they always seem to consider TCP-AO as mythical security. Cheers, S.
