    we are somehow using entirely different definitions of the word "option". I
    am using it in the sense the word is used in RFC 791 and 793; you are using
    it, I think, in the sense "something that is optional".

    I'm not convinced I know what bits you're going to find in the IP or TCP
    headers that are left for doing "something that is optional", but if you
    can, be my guest.

    That said, IP Options are a problem. Really.
