I am forwarding the following message to the tcpsat group, which some
of you may have already seen but others may not have seen, from the
ietf-announce mailing of 20-nov-98:
A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Optimizing TCP over Satellite ATM Networks
Author(s) : R. Goyal, R. Jain
Filename : draft-goyal-tcpsat-tcpatm-00.txt
Pages : 5
Date : 19-Nov-98
This document discusses techniques to improve the performance of TCP
over satellite-ATM networks. ATM provides the ABR, UBR and GFR
service categories for data traffic. TCP experiences poor performance
over UBR due to bursty packet losses during congestion. Buffer
management and guaranteed rate techniques to improve TCP performance
over UBR are presented. The performance of TCP over ABR and the
interaction of ABR congestion control mechanisms with TCP congestion
control mechanisms are also described. This document is intended to
be in informational document for the efficient transport of TCP over
satellite-ATM networks.

Send a message to: [email protected]. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-goyal-tcpsat-tcpatm-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org 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.
