Title: 0-RTT TCP Convert Protocol Author: O. Bonaventure, Ed., M. Boucadair, Ed., S. Gundavelli, S. Seo, B. Hesmans Status: Experimental Stream: IETF Date: July 2020 Mailbox: olivier.bonavent...@tessares.net, mohamed.boucad...@orange.com, sgund...@cisco.com, sh....@kt.com, benjamin.hesm...@tessares.net Pages: 47 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-tcpm-converters-19.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8803 DOI: 10.17487/RFC8803 This document specifies an application proxy, called Transport Converter, to assist the deployment of TCP extensions such as Multipath TCP. A Transport Converter may provide conversion service for one or more TCP extensions. The conversion service is provided by means of the 0-RTT TCP Convert Protocol (Convert). This protocol provides 0-RTT (Zero Round-Trip Time) conversion service since no extra delay is induced by the protocol compared to connections that are not proxied. Also, the Convert Protocol does not require any encapsulation (no tunnels whatsoever). This specification assumes an explicit model, where the Transport Converter is explicitly configured on hosts. As a sample applicability use case, this document specifies how the Convert Protocol applies for Multipath TCP. This document is a product of the TCP Maintenance and Minor Extensions Working Group of the IETF. EXPERIMENTAL: This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
