Re: Transport I-D: KEXINIT reserved field needs description

OpenSSH will accept non-zero values for the reserved uint32 value, but will

Same for cryptlib.


What's the detailed behavior?  suddenly drop the connection?  drop the
connection after sending an error packet?

PenguiNet will allow any value in the reserved field and silently ignore any additional data in the packet.
