	Title           : TCP Response to Lower-Layer Connectivity-Change Indications

When the path characteristics between two hosts change abruptly, TCP
can experience significant delays before resuming transmission in an
efficient manner or TCP can behave unfairly to competing traffic.
This document describes TCP extensions that improve transmission
behavior in response to advisory, lower-layer connectivity-change
indications.  The proposed TCP extensions modify the local behavior
of TCP and introduce a new TCP option to signal locally received
connectivity-change indications to remote peers.  Performance gains
result from a more efficient transmission behavior and there is no
difference in aggressiveness in comparison to a newly-started
connection.

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
