Abstract
The IAB published RFC 7624 in response to several revelations ofpervasive attacks on Internet communications. This documentconsiders the implications of protocol designs that associatemetadata with encrypted flows. In particular, it asserts thatdesigns that share metadata only by explicit actions at the host arepreferable to designs in which middleboxes insert metadata.
