Abstract:
   A number of TCP enhancements in diverse fields as congestion control,
   loss recovery or side-band signaling could be improved by allowing
   both ends of a TCP session to interpret the value carried in the
   Timestamp option.  Further enhancements are enabled by changing the
   receiver side processing of timestamps in the presence of Selective
   Acknowledgements.

   This document updates RFC1323 and specifies a backward-compatible
   method for negotiating for additional capabilities for the Timestamp
   option, and lists a number of benefits and drawbacks of this
   approach.
