[tcpm] I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-tcpm-tcp-soft-errors-05.txt

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories.
This draft is a work item of the TCP Maintenance and Minor Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: TCP's Reaction to Soft Errors
	Author(s)	: F. Gont
	Filename	: draft-ietf-tcpm-tcp-soft-errors-05.txt
	Pages		: 13
	Date		: 2007-4-4

This document describes a non-standard, but widely implemented,
   modification to TCP's handling of ICMP soft error messages received
   in any of the non-synchronized states, that rejects connections
   experiencing those errors immediately.  This behavior reduces the
   likelihood of long delays between connection establishment attempts
   that may arise in a number of scenarios, including one in which dual
   stack nodes that have IPv6 enabled by default are deployed in IPv4 or
   mixed IPv4 and IPv6 environments.

In the body type:

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
