[tcpm] FW: I-D Action:draft-schuetz-tcpm-tcp-rlci-02.txt

["Simon Schuetz" <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

We submitted a revision of the TCP RLCI draft.

Major changes/improvements:
- state machine now implements 3-way handshake to guarantee delivery of connectivity-change indication
- better "stale ack" detection
- improved handling in case of out-of-order delivery

Comments welcome,
Simon
