RDDP: TCP AlignmentDavid L. Black (RDDP WG Chair) RDDP WG rough consensus (mailing list): The RDDP protocols must allow implementations over unmodified TCP/IP stacks. Implication: receivers MUST cope with sender loss of alignment (or meddling middlebox) Observations: Those in favor of sender alignment appear to be opposed to telling the receiver that the sender is aligning (beyond normal TCP behavior) There does not appear to be a functional requirement for this sort of notification |
