A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the TCP Over Satellite Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Ongoing TCP Research Related to Satellites
Author(s) : J. Touch, D. Glover, M. Allman, K. Scott, J. Griner

This document outlines TCP mechanisms that may help better utilize
the available bandwidth in TCP transfers over long-delay satellite
channels. The work outlined in this document is preliminary and has
not yet been judged to be safe for use in the shared Internet. In
addition, some of the work outlined in this document has been shown
to be unsafe for shared networks, but may be acceptable for use in
private networks.

NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.
