Abstract:
   This document describes an experimental TCP mechanism TCP Fast Open
   (TFO). TFO allows data to be carried in the SYN and SYN-ACK packets
   and consumed by the receiving end during the initial connection
   handshake, thus saving up to one full round trip time (RTT) compared
   to the standard TCP, which requires a three-way handshake (3WHS) to
   complete before data can be exchanged. However TFO deviates from the
   standard TCP semantics since the data in the SYN could be replayed to
   an application in some rare circumstances. Applications should not
   use TFO unless they can tolerate this issue detailed in the
   Applicability section.
