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

	Title		: Enhancing TCP Over Satellite Channels 
                          using Standard Mechanisms
	Author(s)	: D. Glover, M. Allman
	Filename	: draft-ietf-tcpsat-stand-mech-05.txt
	Pages		: 15

    The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) provides reliable delivery
    of data across any network path, including network paths containing
    satellite channels.  While TCP works over satellite channels there
    are several IETF standardized mechanisms that enable TCP to more
    effectively utilize the available capacity of the network path.
    This draft outlines some of these TCP mitigations.  At this time,
    all mitigations discussed in this draft are IETF standards track
    mechanisms (or are compliant with IETF standards).

Send a message to:	mailserv@ietf.org.  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.
