Re: [tcpm] poll for adoption of draft-ananth-persist-02

[John Heffner <[e-mail]>]

Here's all I think needs to be said (at all, not just section 7), but
I'm a minimalist. :)

----
Section 4.2.2.17 of RFC 1122 states:

            A TCP MAY keep its offered receive window closed
            indefinitely.  As long as the receiving TCP continues to
            send acknowledgments in response to the probe segments, the
            sending TCP MUST allow the connection to stay open.

To clarify, the above statement is not meant to restrict the ABORT
command [RFC793] in any way.  TCP should react to an ABORT in the same
way regardless of the current receive window.
