Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   Transport protocols are extended through the use of transport header
   options. This document updates RFC 768 (UDP) by indicating the
   location, syntax, and semantics for UDP transport layer options
   within the surplus area after the end of the UDP user data but
   before the end of the IP length.

Working Group Summary

   Was there anything in the WG process that is worth noting?
   For example, was there controversy about particular points 
   or were there decisions where the consensus was
   particularly rough? 

Document Quality

   Are there existing implementations of the protocol?  Have a 
   significant number of vendors indicated their plan to
   implement the specification?  Are there any reviewers that
   merit special mention as having done a thorough review,
   e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a
   conclusion that the document had no substantive issues?  If
   there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type, or other Expert Review,
   what was its course (briefly)?  In the case of a Media Type
   Review, on what date was the request posted?

Personnel

   The Document Shepherd for this document is Gorry Fairhurst. The
   Responsible Area Director is Zaheduzzaman Sarker.
