Re: o TCP does work, but performance can be suboptimal when
compared to terrestrial (or other lower-latency) paths
Performance is a very subjective thing, maybe we could be more quantative.
o TCP does work, but the throughput-rate of small files may be lower when
compared to terrestrial (or other lower-latency) paths

Proof reading via the Internet is a humbling, but nonetheless rewarding
experience...

Yeah... you know the rule about not editing code when you're
mentally impaired (due to fatigue in this case), it applies
to document editing too :o)
I fumbled rewording headers on the fly while "proof-reading"
early this morning.
It originally read:
2.2.1 TCP does *not* work in satellite environments
I wanted things to be more positive, so I changed the slant
from restating the misconceptions to stating facts and forgot
to fix some of the bullets.
I'm fixing the Current right now to read:
2.2.1 TCP does work in satellite environments
o Assertions to the contrary are generally raised in relation to
geostationary satellite operation
o TCP does work, but performance can be suboptimal when
compared to terrestrial (or other lower-latency) paths
o Some performance degradations due to the long-delay environment
can be mitigated through proper configuration of clients and
network infrastructures (e.g. router buffer sizes)
Please keep 'em coming...
