Thus after the removal of T/TCP for the reasons above I want to provide a work-alike replacement for T/TCP's functionality: .. This different implementation will be disabled by default and clearly marked EXPERIMENTAL in a protocol sense. It will allow the only known user of T/TCP to keep the same functionality with a very small change to his application. It allows interesting new uses primarily in Intranet environment where many short connections are openend in rapid succession (LDAP servers, SQL servers, etc.). The modifications to those programs to use the new option is minimal and requires only the setting of the socket option, one setsockopt() call.

I'm not so happy with a FreeBSD-only "proprietary" thing. Is there any proposed RFC work that provides the qualities you want? The advantage with T/TCP is that there was a published standard.

Not for TCP. There are plenty of proposed or approved replacements for TCP though. Implementing or importing them is a lot harder and applications wanting to use it have to be extensively modified.

The nice thing of my proposed replacement is its simplicity. Submitting an RFC draft for that is not hard and I'm going to do it based on the feedback I've got so far. I think we can enough drive behind this to make it an actual published RFC standard.

Don't worry. I don't want to remove one intrusive piece of code just to replace it with another one.
