TCP Cookie Transactions (TCPCT) deter spoofing of connections and
prevent resource exhaustion, eliminating Responder (server) state
during the initial handshake.  The Initiator (client) has sole
responsibility for ensuring required delays between connections.  The
cookie exchange may carry data, limited to inhibit amplification and
reflection denial of service attacks.  This document defines an 
Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
