So, in other words, are we saying that only changes to TCP header is considered as an update and not the stuff that changes the semantics ? This is probably a general question w.r.t updates, nothing specific to 793 update. "Alternatively defined" is also trying to change the RFC 793 semantics i.e, in the current case segment processing rules w.r.t RST, SYN and Data. FWIW, 1323 talks "TCP extensions for High performance" about window scaling ( a new TCP option), timestamps ( a new TCP option) and PAWS (which is possible only when you use timestamps), these don't update RFC 793 and just supplements it, IMO. RFC 1122 standarided the TCP congestion control algorithms and not RFC 793. So if it all 2581 has to update something it had to be 1122 not 793. > > That's just my personal opinion, though. Sure, my opinion is similar but I am confused with the meaning and applicability of the term "updates". We need to have a consistent story. That is the reason I suggested seeking IESG advice in this matter. -Anantha > _______________________________________________ > tcpm mailing list > tcpm@ietf.org > https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tcpm > _______________________________________________ tcpm mailing list tcpm@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tcpm
