I read exactly the same number of papers where people analysed TCP and come to
the conclusion that TCP is suitable at general but timers must be adjusted to
meet the requirements, ok this statement is a little bit exaggerated, but I
cannot resist to post it. ;-) Anyway, I don't want to start a debate if TCP
is suitable for interplanetary communication. Be creative and think about
another environments where TCP may be adequate but the user simple require a
stronger checksum. My second example are therefore, attention: Sensor
Networks. ;-)

Lloyd, thank you for the in-deep elucidations!

My point was and is why to move a itself not defective nor overhauled RFC to
historic. But as Lars already pointed out that this does not affect already
existing implementations I am fine with it. I am general fine with Lars
postings, so consider it as a question, not a objection. ;-)
