TCP extensions for long-delay paths
RFC 1072, “TCP extensions for long-delay paths”, is a Historic document published in October 1988 by V. Jacobson, R.T. Braden. It has been obsoleted by RFC 1323, RFC 2018, RFC 6247 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This RFC proposes a set of extensions to the TCP protocol to provide efficient operation over a path with a high bandwidth*delay product. These extensions are not proposed as an Internet standard at this time. Instead, they are intended as a basis for further experimentation and research on transport protocol performance.
What “Historic” means
A specification that has been superseded or is otherwise no longer recommended for use.
