RFC-Editor Note for nonce document
Here's an action item left from the Feb 6 meeting. It is the
RFC Editor note for draft-ietf-tsvwg-tcp-nonce-04.txt going to
Experimental. With this RFC-Editor note, the document can be
announced as approved.
-----------
RFC-Editor, please add the following text after the Abstract:
Statement of Intent:
This specification contains an optional addition to Explicit
Congestion Notification (RFC 3168) improving its robustness
against malicious or accidental concealment of marked packets.
It has not been deployed widely. One goal of publication as an
as an Experimental RFC is to be prudent, and encourage use and
deployment prior to publication in the standards track. Another
consideration is to give time for firewall developers to accept
and recognize the pattern presented by the nonce. It is
the intent of the Transport Area to re-submit this specification
as an IETF Proposed Standard in future after more experience has
been gained.
RFC-Editor, please also expand the acronyms in the abstract on first
appearance:
Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN)
ECN-Capable Transport (ECT)
