My comments on Marc's passwording changing protocol:
o I don't like having the TCP version of the protocol require a length
field that is not in the UDP version. I understand that the length is
implicit in a UDP packet, but it means that an implementation of the
protocol will be network protocol dependent, which there is no reason
for it to be. So I think the UDP version should also contain an
explicit length field as well.
o Are you sure the protocol, and not site policy, should require that
the INITIAL flag be set in the protocol?
