It's available at the usual places (including: http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-tcpm-tcp-security-01.txt). (It is a derivative of the CPNI TCP-security document published last year, available at: http://www.cpni.gov.uk/Docs/tn-03-09-security-assessment-TCP.pdf) The current plan is discuss each section of the draft piecemeal (it is a very large document), get consensus on the changes to apply to the existing text, and then move on to the next section. Therefore I'm requesting feedback on all the sections through Section 3.1.2.3. -- this includes the introduction sections, the basic check on the TCP segment size (Section 3) and the discussion of port numbers (Section 3.1 with all its subsections). Please submit comments asap, so that we can move on to the next sections in a timely manner. P.S.: It would be best if you subscribe the TCP WG mailing-list at: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tcpm . Nevertheless, you can send your feedback unicast to fernando@gont.com.ar , if you prefer. Thanks!
