In view of the unpredictable and problematic nature of long thin
networks (for example, wireless WANs), arriving at an optimized
transport is a daunting task. We have reviewed the existing
proposals along with future research items. Based on this
overview, we also recommend mechanisms for implementation in long
thin networks.
Our goal is to identify a TCP that works for all users, including
users of long thin networks. We started from the working
recommendations of the IETF TCP Over Satellite Links (tcpsat)
working group with this end in mind.
We recognize that not every tcpsat recommendation will be required
for long thin networks as well, and are working toward a set of
TCP recommendations that are 'benign' in environments that do not
require them.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
