Right, that's what we're talking about.  The RDS implementation only
needs a few bytes of private data on top of the IP address info.  So
the RDS implementation itself is clearly OK with any of the proposals
being discussed here.

However, Rick mentioned that Oracle needs 64 bytes of private data in
both directions for connections.  My question was how Oracle works on
top of RDS, which does not provide any private data to consumers.
