Oh, well, it was and is.. the "Reserved" flags was for future extension, and it's also relatively trivial to extend TCP with new TCP options. That's how we got Window scaling, SACK, Timestamping (Round-trip measurements and PAWS), ECN, and a bunch of other less known TCP extensions. But unlike HTTP TCP extensions is more strictly controlled with more people keeping a close eye on what is being done. Regards HenrikReceived on Monday, 6 August 2007 23:48:17 UTC
