[LACNIC/Seguridad] Fwd: BCP 159, RFC 6191 on Reducing the TIME-WAIT State Using TCP Timestamps

[Fernando Gont]

FYI.

Esto podria ser de utilidad para reducir el "estado" necesario en
aquellos servidores que hosteen aplicaciones que usen TCP.

Un abrazo,
Fernando

This document describes an algorithm for processing incoming SYN
segments that allows higher connection-establishment rates between
any two TCP endpoints when a TCP Timestamps option is present in the
incoming SYN segment.  This document only modifies processing of SYN
segments received for connections in the TIME-WAIT state; processing
in all other states is unchanged.  This memo documents an Internet
Best Current Practice.

This document is a product of the TCP Maintenance and Minor Extensions
Working Group of the IETF.


BCP: This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the
Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
