Brian:

Yes, we're aware of these neat aircraft applications via our close work 
with Larry Freudinger at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, and in 
particular with the use of intermediate PEP gateways. The question is 
whether (in order to use the gateway capabilities) you feel that their 
various internal flavors of TCP need to be put on an *IETF* standards 
track. Dan Shell apparently feels that they do; what about you? TCP 
Tranquility is a full International Standard within the space community; do 
you feel in any way inhibited from experimenting with its use?
