> One of the problems with the use of terminal servers is the large
> number of small packets they can generate.  Frequently, most of these
> packets are destined for only one or two hosts.  TMux is a protocol
> which allows multiple short transport segments, independent of
> application type, to be combined between a server and host pair.  This
> RFC is not a product of an IETF Working Group, but has been reviewed
> in the Transport Area of the IETF.
> 
> This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
> 
> This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
> Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
> improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
> Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and
