Re: [tcpm] draft-ietf-tcpm-tcp-uto-02

Fernando,

Thanks for generating a new revision,  and appologies for taking a 
little while to get back to you on the changes that you made.

It seems you have responded to most (if not all) my substantial 
comments,  and also tightened the
language, I like these improvements, and to me, this seems much safer in 
this respect.

I would like to check one point:
Section 3.1:

/Very short user timeout values can affect TCP transmissions over
high-delay paths.  If the user timeout occurs before an
acknowledgment for an outstanding segment arrives, possibly due to ..../

- This rev of the draft also includes a change to mandate the  minimum 
value to be at least the RTO value, which should at least help in this case?

and note two minor NiTs below.

Best wishes,

Gorry

End of section 1:

I think phrase below is good guidance, but could be strengthened:
/If such a system-wide toggle were provided, it would default to "off".

Perhaps some text something like:

An implementation that provides a system-wide toggle, should assign the 
default value to disable this feature.

/It must be noted that the two endpoints of the connection will not   
necesarilly adopt the same user timeout./

- Could be better worded, but agreed.
