	Title           : On the implementation of the TCP urgent mechanism
	Author(s)       : F. Gont, A. Yourtchenko

This document analyzes how current TCP implementations process TCP
urgent indications, and how the behavior of some widely-deployed
middle-boxes affect how urgent indications are processed by end
systems.  This document updates the relevant specifications such that
they accommodate current practice in processing TCP urgent
indications, raises awareness about the reliability of TCP urgent
indications in the Internet and recommends against the use of the
urgent indications (but provides advice to applications in case that
they do).
