Removing T/TCP and replacing it with something simpler

[Karim Fodil-Lemelin]

Now,

    I have a question. In our application which can be described as:

Client ----> (Client Gateway) -------> SATLINK ------> (Server Gateway) 
-----> Internet

We act as the Internet servers (transparent proxies) and therefore T/TCP 
traffic is only sent over the SATLINK. In the current T/TCP 
implementation the sender has to send a ccnew option to discover that 
the server side supports T/TCP. Now we had to modify this so the 
gateways uses the knowledge that they work together and they don't need 
to send a ccnew option everytime a client makes a connection to a new 
server.

My question is: In the new implementation does the cookie will be 
generated per machine or like the tao mecanism will it be based on a src 
/ dst tuple?

Regards.

Right, Actually we are based on FBSD 4.9 and we are planning to port to 
5.3 as soon as it gets stable, which  could be anytime soon ;).
