Sure; I was being broad in my reference back to RFC793; updates need to be chased down too, so to the extent that the updates make RFC793 outdated, you're correct. However, the bulk of RFC793's API remains in effect. Joe _______________________________________________ Taps mailing list Taps@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/taps
