RFC 2140: TCP Control Block Interdependence
This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 9040.
Current version: RFC 9040 — TCP Control Block Interdependence
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
This memo makes the case for interdependent TCP control blocks, where part of the TCP state is shared among similar concurrent connections, or across similar connection instances. TCP state includes a combination of parameters, such as connection state, current round-trip time estimates, congestion control information, and process information. This memo provides information for the Internet community. This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.
