Abstract
A defender operable to support options in a communication session intercepts a connection request packet sent from a client to a server. The defender identifies a client option combination associated with the client from the connection request packet. The defender establishes a client option index corresponding to the client option combination, and encodes the client option index into a cookie of an acknowledgment packet. The defender then sends the acknowledgment packet to the client.
