- Description of Working Group:
-
- The TCP Large Windows Working Group is chartered to produce a
- specification for the use of TCP on high delay, high bandwidth paths.
- To this end, this Working Group recommended RFC 1072 ``TCP extensions
- for long-delay paths'' and RFC 1185 ``TCP Extension for High-Speed
- Paths'' be published jointly as a Proposed Standard. Deficiencies in
- the technical details of the documents were identified by the
- End-to-End Research Group of the IRTF. Rather than progress the
- standard with known deficiencies, the IESG tasked the End-to-End
- Research Group to fix and merge these two documents into a single
- protocol specification document. This review was done on the
- eze-interest@isi.edu mailing list.
-
- The TCP Large Windows Working Group is being resurrected for a one
- time meeting, to review and if appropriate, approve this new document.
-
-
- Goals and Milestones:
-
- Done Review the TCP Extended Window Size proposal from the IRSG End to End
- Research Group and if acceptable, recommend it for standards status.
-
-
- Internet Drafts:
-
- No Current Internet drafts.
