Dear TCPM contributors,

This e-mail starts a working group last call for draft-ietf-tcpm-rfc793bis-18. Information about the document can be found at this link:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tcpm-rfc793bis/

For instance, the current version can be found at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-tcpm-rfc793bis-18.

When adopting draft-ietf-tcpm-rfc793bis, the TCPM working group consensus was to limit the scope of 793bis to TCP changes that are specified either in standards-track RFCs or in verified errata. Also, the consensus was to focus on the base protocol and exclude mechanisms that can be specified separately (e.g., congestion control). As a result, 793bis should in principle not contain anything new. Nonetheless, we all know that TCP is a complex protocol and even small details of the specification matter a lot.

Given that 793bis will obsolete RFC 793, which is one of the most important Internet Standards, this WGLC will run for *four weeks*, i.e., until October 16.

Therefore, *your* help is needed: PLEASE review 793bis in the next weeks! The earlier, the better...

- Any comments or suggestions are important and highly appreciated. Even if you don't speak up often on the TCPM mailing list, please let us know if you have any feedback.

- Even if you read the document without finding any errors or issue, please let us know ("+1").

- It is also perfectly fine to look only at a subset of the document, e.g., if you are familiar with specific details of TCP. Partial reviews are welcome, too.

- If you own TCP running code, you definitively should have a very close look; this document is supposed to be the new base specification of TCP.

RFC 793 lays the ground for all work in TCPM, and 793bis is probably one of the most important deliverables of TCPM. Please help us with completing this milestone.

Thanks!
