Actually, there is an easy fix for this which can be added to the queue for AUTH48.

Hi Joe,

IP parcels and Advanced Jumbos per my drafts are compatible with UDP options for sizes

up to ~64KB. UDP options cannot currently be used for still larger sizes, but I suspect it

will be a long time before we have to worry about that.

Indeed. But if sendmsg() and recvmsg() can and do generate RFC2675 packets, it means that any discussion of obsoleting RFC2675 should be

off the table.

No one that I know of has suggested obsoleting RFC2675 - my documents do not say "obsoletes" (nor even "updates”).

That approach to UDP jumbo grams is incompatible with UDP options.

And yes, there was a proposal to move that RFC to historic:

Jones, T., G. Fairhurst, "Change Status of RFC 2675 to Historic," draft-jones-6man-historic-rfc2675, May 2019.

We COULD have a new option with a longer length, but that’s not in our baseline draft.
