RE: Traffic Selectors (was SA fragments)

["Bora Akyol" <bora@cisco.com>]

I wrote several responses to this, but chose
not to send them,

on traffic selectors, then be it. I will
point out that the proposed offset based 
optional selectors 
work equally well for v6, v4 and any other
protocol that does not use TCP/UDP.
