> TCPSAT Summary:
>
> The TCP over Satellite group met on Wednesday, August 26th, at 3pm.
> Aaron Falk, WG Chair, presented status showing the following:
>
> 1) The Internet Draft "Enhancing TCP Over Satellite Channels
> using Standard Mechanisms" is nearly done and should be ready
> to go to last call on the list. This document will be slated
> for a BCP track.
>
> 2) The Internet Draft "Ongoing TCP Research Related to
> Satellites" is still incomplete but there are authors
> assigned for the unwritten sections. The schedule is to send
> out a last-call-ready draft before the next IETF with last
> call to follow in January 99.
>
> 3) TCPSAT should have it's last meeting at IETF-43 in
> Orlando.
>
> 4) A discussion on TCP Spoofing was held following the last
> TCPSAT meeting at the LA IETF. A mail list and web site were
> created but little traffic ensued. Next steps, for those
> interested in seeing this activity continue, would be to
> produce a short I-D defining terms and architectures and a
> second I-D discussing spoofing mechanisms and risks. The web
> site is http:tcppep.lerc.nasa.gov/tcppep.
>
> Mark Allman, document editor, presented a brief summary of comments
> recieved on the two drafts and changes made to accomodated them. A
> suggestion was made to allow input from non-assigned authors on the
> -research-issues- I-D so that completion of the document did not rely
> solely on the assigned authors.
>
> The issue was raised as to whether issues pertaining to TCP over ATM
> (ABR) over satellite should be included in the research issues draft.
> The consensus among the chair, editor, and ADs was that unless
> specific TCP mechanisms were at issue, it was out of scope for the
> document. The decision was made (after the meeting) for the author to
> summarize the issues he felt were relevant and email the summary to
> the chair, editors, and ADs for further review.
>
> Dave Beering, Sterling Software, presented results of a NASA Advanced
> Communications Technology Satellite Experiments 118x. These
> experiements showed 97% utilization of a OC-12 satellite link using a
> single TCP connection and Solaris 2.6 w/patch, Solaris 2.7, Windows 4,
> and Windows 5.
>
> Eric Travis, JPL, presented a summary of the InterPlaNet brainstorming
> going on at JPL w/Vint Cerf's help to extend the Internet to farther
> than Earth orbit. This activity is unrelated to TCPSAT but was thought
> to be of interest to the audience.
