A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. BCP 28: RFC 2488: Title: Enhancing TCP Over Satellite Channels using Standard Mechanisms Author(s): M. Allman, D. Glover, L. Sanchez Status: Best Current Practice Date: January 1999 Mailbox: mallman@lerc.nasa.gov, Daniel.R.Glover@lerc.nasa.gov, lsanchez@ir.bbn.com Pages: 19 Characters: 47857 Updates/Obsoletes/See Also: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-tcpsat-stand-mech-06.txt URL: ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2488.txt The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) provides reliable delivery of data across any network path, including network paths containing satellite channels. While TCP works over satellite channels there are several IETF standardized mechanisms that enable TCP to more effectively utilize the available capacity of the network path. This document outlines some of these TCP mitigations. At this time, all mitigations discussed in this document are IETF standards track mechanisms (or are compliant with IETF standards). This document is the product of the TCP Over Satellite Working Group of the IETF. This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
