directories. This draft is a work item of the TCP Over Satellite
Working Group of the IETF.

This document outlines possible TCP enhancements that may allow TCP to
better utilize the available bandwidth provided by satellite networks.
The algorithms and mechanisms outlined have not been judged to be safe
for the global Internet. However, the mechanisms may be appropriate
for private satellite networks (or other long-delay network paths).
The goal of this document is to educate researchers as to the current
work and progress being done in TCP research related to satellite
networks.

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.
