The IESG has received a request from the TCP Maintenance and Minor Extensions WG (tcpm) to consider the following document: - 'TCP Extensions for High Performance' <draft-ietf-tcpm-1323bis-19.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2014-02-18. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document specifies a set of TCP extensions to improve performance over paths with a large bandwidth * delay product and to provide reliable operation over very high-speed paths. It defines the TCP Window Scale (WS) option and the TCP Timestamps (TS) option and their semantics. The Window Scale option is used to support larger receive windows, while the Timestamps option can be used for at least two distinct mechanisms, PAWS (Protection Against Wrapped Sequences) and RTTM (Round Trip Time Measurement), that are also described herein. This document obsoletes RFC1323 and describes changes from it. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tcpm-1323bis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tcpm-1323bis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
