Please note the attached Internet draft announcement. It describes an extended
TCP MIB, designed to provide a direct way to query TCP connections to diagnose
performance problems.
I hope to introduce this as a work item for tsvwg. The complication is
that RFC2012 is already under revision by inpnwg, mostly to update the
connection table to support IPv6 addresses. See:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipngwg-rfc2012-update-01.txt
I expect that most of the discussion at the IETF will be about process.
Thanks,

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : TCP Extended Statistics MIB

This draft describes extended performance statistics for TCP. They
are designed to use TCP's ideal vantage point to diagnose performance
problems in both the network and the application.

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.
