The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Specification' (draft-ietf-tcpm-rfc793bis-28.txt) as Internet Standard
This document is the product of the TCP Maintenance and Minor Extensions Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Zaheduzzaman Sarker and Martin Duke. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tcpm-rfc793bis/ Technical Summary This is an update to RFC793, the core specification for TCP, which is 40 years old. It also replaces some RFCs that update 793, including the TCP-related bits of RFC 1122. Working Group Summary This has taken 6 years. The objective was to not actually change how TCP works, for obvious reasons. Nevertheless, there are many deviations between the specification and practice in the real world. The consensus was to document these issues rather than attempt to correct them here. For more, please see the (exceptional) Shepherd Writeup. Document Quality You almost certainly, have at least one, if not several, TCP implementations on your body right now, and are right now reading text that was delivered via TCP. Personnel The document shepherd is Michael Scharf <michael.sch...@hs-esslingen.de>. The responsible Area Director is Martin Duke <martin.h.d...@gmail.com>. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
