Mark, Thanks for your message: >... It is my opinion that it is a mistake to reduce the maximum > RTO too low.... Absolutly; I'm worried that even mentioning the RTO maximum will detract attention from the maximum retransmition timeout which is the REAL problem with TCP over wireless, more than all the other TCP parameters combined, certainly. I mean, what difference does it make if you have to wait an extra minute to get a connection back as long as you can get it back instead of having it dropped after nine minutes? Cheers, James
