Title: Transmission Control Protocol Specification
Abstract: This document specifies the Internet's Transmission Control
Protocol (TCP). TCP is an important transport layer protocol in the
Internet stack, and has continuously evolved over decades of use and
growth of the Internet. Over this time, a number of changes have been
made to TCP as it was specified in RFC 793, though these have only
been documented in a piecemeal fashion. This document collects and
brings those changes together with the protocol specification from RFC
793. This document obsoletes RFC 793, as well as 879, 2873, 6093,
6429, 6528, and 6691 that updated parts of RFC 793. It updates RFC
1122, and should be considered as a replacement for the portions of
that document dealing with TCP requirements. It updates RFC 5961 due
to a small clarification in reset handling while in the SYN-RECEIVED
state. RFC EDITOR NOTE: If approved for publication as an RFC, this
should be marked additionally as STD: 7 and replace RFC 793 in that
role.
