A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.


	Title		: TCP Extensions for Immediate Retransmissions
	Author(s)	: L. Eggert, et al.

   This document describes a modification to TCP's standard
   retransmission scheme that improves performance across intermittently
   connected paths.  In addition to the regular retransmission attempts
   scheduled at exponentially increasing intervals, this extension
   causes additional, speculative retransmission attempts upon receiving
   external triggers.  One example of such a trigger is "first hop
   router reachable." This document does not define the specifics of
   such triggers, although it describes some examples.  Instead, it
   defines how a conforming TCP implementation operates when it receives
   a trigger.

Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-eggert-tcpm-tcp-retransmit-now-00.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
