From Prague we had consensus to add an experimental MPTCP option to the protocol bis [see ​https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-bonaventure-mptcp-exp-option/].
The question was raised whether it should be 8 or 16 bits.

The discussions during yesterday’s interim reached the consensus that it should be 8 bits. (see the preliminary meeting notes, email from Will Ivancic)

This email is to check this consensus. If you weren’t on the call, please speak up if you have a strong opinion, especially if you disagree with the 8 bit proposal.

thanks
