HI,

Please accept the following "minor" comments/questions to the TCP protocol
components:

#1:
The list include both of the followings:

*ordered delivery for each byte stream
* stream-oriented delivery in a single stream

Wouldn't it be more fair to combine these two and say:

*ordered delivery in a single stream

"Each stream" seems a little too much for TCP, I think.

#2:
Segmentation and bundling is listed as separate components, even if
bundling, for TCP, is part of the segmentation process.
I suppose that is as it should be, but when speaking "Bundling" then I
actually think that "Bundling delay" is a better term. Especially for TCP.

To put in context:
For SCTP it is actually relevant to discuss bundling and bundling delay
separately  as two different components.
Meaning that SCTP WILL bundle PDUs up to PMTU size (and I would call that
bundling), but it CAN (depending on no_delay setting) implement bundling
delay or not.


BR, Karen
