- Here's a summary of Van Jacobson's specifications for data
- transmission in TCP protocol that I requested a while ago. There are
- two different specifications: RFC 1144 (Compressing TCP/IP Headers for
- Low-Speed Serial Links) and RFC 1323 (TCP Extensions for High
- Performance). RFC 1323, the info I was looking for in particular,
- talks about TCP window scale option, round-trip time measurement, and
- protection against wrapped sequence numbers. Also, SIGCOMM 88
- Proceedings was meantioned as having easy reading for Van Jacobson's
- family of TCP congestion control algorithms.
