[tcpm] Working group acceptance of draft-touch-tcpm-2140bis-06 targeting informational status

["Scharf, Michael" <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

The document draft-touch-tcpm-2140bis has been discussed quite a bit in TCPM. One question has been the status (BCP or INFO). The version draft-touch-tcpm-2140bis-06 explicitly targets informational status and plans to obsolete RFC 2140 (which is informational, too).

The intention of this e-mail is to confirm that draft-touch-tcpm-2140bis-06 should be adopted as informational TCPM working group item, i.e., that a new item should be added to the TCPM charter:

  Nov. 2019  Submit document on TCP Control Block Interdependence to the IESG for publication as Informational RFC 

The adoption call runs on the TCPM mailing list until March 22. Please let us know if you support adoption of the document, or if there are any concerns.

Best regards

Michael
(TCPM co-chair)

FYI - 
This version:
    - obsoletes 2140
    - says so in the abstract and intro
    - includes a "changes from 2140" section summarizing the differences
Note that the earlier versions did cite 2140, but did not as directly indicate that this is intended as its replacement.
Joe

Abstract:
This memo updates and replaces RFC 2140's description of
interdependent TCP control blocks, in which part of the TCP state is
shared among similar concurrent or consecutive connections. TCP
state includes a combination of parameters, such as connection
state, current round-trip time estimates, congestion control
information, and process information. Most of this state is
maintained on a per-connection basis in the TCP Control Block (TCB),
but implementations can (and do) share certain TCB information
across connections to the same host. Such sharing is intended to
improve overall transient transport performance, while maintaining
backward-compatibility with existing implementations. The sharing
described herein is limited to only the TCB initialization and so
has no effect on the long-term behavior of TCP after a connection
has been established.



Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
