A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.


	Title		: Inappropriate TCP Resets Considered Harmful
	Author(s)	: S. Floyd
	Filename	: draft-floyd-tcp-reset-01.txt
	Pages		: 12
	Date		: 27-Jun-01
	
This document is being written because there are a number of
firewalls in the Internet that inappropriately reset a TCP connection
upon receiving certain TCP SYN packets, in particular, packets with
flags set in the Reserved field of the TCP header.  In this document
we argue that this practice is not conformant with TCP standards.  We
further argue that this is a harmful practice that presents an
unnecessary obstacle to the evolution of the Internet infrastructure.

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-floyd-tcp-reset-01.txt".
	
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.
