A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Transport Area Working Group Working Group of the IETF. Title : TCP with ECN: The Treatment of Retransmitted Data Packets Author(s) : S. Floyd, K. Ramakrishnan Filename : draft-ietf-tsvwg-tcp-ecn-00.txt Pages : 9 Date : 06-Nov-00 This document makes recommendations for the use of ECN with retransmitted data packets, for an ECN-capable TCP connection. This document supplements RFC 2481 [RFC2481], which did not address the issue of retransmitted data packets. This document recommends that for ECN-capable TCP implementations, the ECT bit (ECN-Capable Transport) in the IP header SHOULD NOT be set on retransmitted data packets, and that the TCP data receiver SHOULD ignore the ECN field on arriving data packets that are outside of the receiver's current window. This is for greater security against denial-of-service attacks. A URL for this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tsvwg-tcp-ecn-00.txt Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-ietf-tsvwg-tcp-ecn-00.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tsvwg-tcp-ecn-00.txt". 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.
