The IESG has approved the following document: - 'A Roadmap for TCP Specification Documents ' <draft-ietf-tcpm-tcp-roadmap-06.txt> as an Informational RFC This document is the product of the TCP Maintenance and Minor Extensions Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Jon Peterson and Allison Mankin. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tcpm-tcp-roadmap-06.txt Technical Summary This document contains a "roadmap" to the RFCs relating to the Internet's TCP. This roadmap provides a brief summary of the documents defining TCP and various TCP extensions that have accumulated in the RFC series. This serves as a guide and quick reference for both TCP implementers and other parties who desire information contained in the TCP-related RFCs. Working Group Summary The advancement of this document is supported by the TCPM WG. Protocol Quality This protocol was reviewed for the IESG by Mark Allman and Jon Peterson Note to RFC Editor OLD: (from section 3.1) Since TCP traditionally (in the absence of ECN) uses losses to infer congestion, there is a rather intimate coupling between congestion control and loss recovery mechanisms. NEW: TCP traditionally treats lost packets as indicating congestion-related loss, and cannot distinguish between congestion-related loss and loss due to transmission errors. Even when ECN is in use, there is a rather intimate coupling between congestion control and loss recovery mechanisms. === OLD: (from section 3.3) A draft that is currently in the RFC Editor's queue for publication [tcpmd5app] deprecates TCP MD5 for use outside BGP. NEW: RFC 4278 deprecates the use of TCP MD5 outside BGP [RFC4278]. Please change [tcpmd5app] to reference RFC 4278. === OLD: (from section 6.4) RFC 2452 S: "IP Version 6 Management Information Base for the Transmission Control Protocol" (December 1998) This document [RFC2452] augments RFC 2012 by adding an IPv6- specific connection table. The rest of 2012 holds for any IP version. NEW: RFC 2452 S: "IP Version 6 Management Information Base for the Transmission Control Protocol" (December 1998) This document [RFC2452] augments RFC 2012 by adding an IPv6- specific connection table. The rest of 2012 holds for any IP version. RFC 2012 is now obsoleted by RFC 4022. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
