Are you talking about this research project: http://timely.crhc.uiuc.edu/Projects/wtcp/wtcp.html Are you planning to to Wireless network research? WTCP is an experimental protocol. IETF does not even seem to support it as a future protocol at this point, although RFC-2757 does seem to recommend that _some_ of its techniques be added to the TCP protocol. > 2.

You might want to contact the various universities that are researching this new and (mostly) undocumented protocol. > 3. In case that the answer is no. Do plan to implement the WTCP > and when? It doesn't look like anyone is going to implement WTCP, as it seems like the research done with it has served its purposes, and the successful parts of WTCP will be (or already have been) integrated into TCP. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
