Hello TSVWG,

We have published a new document on transport protocol considerations
in satellite networks and we would love to hear comments from the
working group. This document is an expansion of the work in
draft-kuhn-quic-4-sat by Nicolas, Emile, John and Gorry.

Our intention with this document is to increase the scope of the
protocols to consider transports more generally from just quic in
quic-4-sat. We see this as a logical update of RFC 2488 (and to some
extent RFC 2760) to include advancements in both transport protocol
design and satellite networks.

We look forward to hearing any feedback the working group has on this
document and any contributions you might be able to make to fill out
some of the thinner sections.

We are happy to take comments on this mailing list, directly by email or
as pull requests or issues on the documents github repository.
