Thanks, Michael.


that makes more sense -- the term, to me, invoked a router 
bug overwriting the tail of a packet in memory, but the 
packet is still delivered (because header checksums 
are a fixup, and a whole recomputation across the packet 
is not done) - in other words, the transport area 
that UDP Lite works in for end-corrupted (tail loss) 
packets, and was developed to address. 


Packet tail rather than session tail. 
And that really didn't fit with the context...


'session tail loss' or 'transfer tail loss' 
may be clearer.

Thanks!  We’ll explain in the next version.
“Tail loss” has become a common term in transport - because it’s a common problem: e.g. web transfers are usually short, and it’s not uncommon to lose just the last few packets of them (hence “tail”) - but then, for these packets, the sender never gets a DupACK, and all that helps is a timeout, creating significant delay.

Cheers,
Michael
