I have enquired about the status of rfc3448bis - the situation at the moment seems that there
are a lot of changes in rfc3448bis which have not gone through community review yet; there are
further edits/changes which need to be addressed (probably in the next revision for the December
IETF meeting); and only after this has been done can some stabilisation be expected. Until
then there are probably going to be many changes. It seems that Faster Restart is being rewritten
into a new algorithm, using something like TCP cwnd validation.

For me this all looks very experimental, but it can be useful to experiment. Therefore, if you
wanted to, the offer is there to put all this stuff as a fork of the test tree.

Thanks - much appreciated, this can take a little time.
