Is the last statement correct?
In your mail on Jan 6, 2002, I thought you mentioned that
Linux follows RFC1323 without the modification of [B93].
NetBSD still checks Last.ACK.sent < SEG.SEQ + SEG.LEN.
FreeBSD does not check SEG.TSval >= TSrecent.
OpenBSD follows the modification of [B93].
I do not know of other implementations and simulators.
Since Linux is used widely, is it better to replace
the word "all" to something like "many" or "some" ?
