A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the TCP Implementation Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Simulation Studies of Increased 
                          Initial TCP Window Size

An increase in the permissible initial window size of a TCP connection,
from one segment to three or four segments, has been under discussion in
the tcp-impl working group. This document covers some simulation studies of
the effects of increasing the initial window size of TCP. Both long-lived
TCP connections (file transfers) and short-lived web-browsing style
connections were modeled. The simulations were performed using the publicly
available ns-2 simulator and our custom models and files are also
available.

Send a message to:	mailserv@ds.internic.net.  In the body type:

NOTE:	The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.
