We want to limit the timer to the sender's persist state only, any other timeout overloads the semantics of the application, and may also cause unnecessary timeouts for the application. In fact there are instances where the application may not even have the connection state around to implement the timout correctly, like the tail of a long HTTP response. After sending the tail of the response, the application can close the connection and release its connection memory, during this window only TCP has the connection state. We've done a lot of testing and design for handling all these cases, and to implement this correctly, we need TCP's involvement.

Why not set the timer in the application and ABORT or CLOSE the connection when the timer goes off? Joe __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
