Subject: [Int-area] Per-Application Networking Considerations

Hello INTAREA,

We published a draft this week that we’d like to briefly introduce for discussion within the intarea WG, draft-per-app-networking-considerations. This is an informational document that discusses the implications of a trend we’ve noticed towards putting more application identifiers or per-application logic in the network layers. Many different proposals touch on the idea of differentiating traffic based on application, but we believe it would be useful to have a general statement about the privacy trade-offs and design considerations in this space. Moreover, we think that a broad technical group like intarea may be the right place to discuss and review this work.

Your reviews and thoughts are appreciated!

Best,
Tommy & Lorenzo
