Hello:
A couple of days ago I have posted a query for **ONLINE DOCUMENTS**
of practical TCP Encapsulation within TCP. Thanks for everyone
who has replied in private. I am aware that someone in Harvard was
doing it, however, I would like to know what is currently under
development or already on the shelf.
The issue itself was inspired by the recent DoS attack. So, basically
it is about how a "small Mom and Pop ISP in the developing country"
can have some control over its low speed upstream link. I was thinking
of using a TCP window, since the characteristics of that technology
are somewhat already known. Thus, the provider might have some control
over how much SYNC packets it will accept, priority packets, filtering,
etc., at the other end of the link.
Someone has suggested to look on RSVP documents. However, I think that
RSVP is too complicated.
Someone has suggested to look on IPSEC documents. While security is
desirable, it is not the main point. However, I believe that the
ssh utility can be used for establishing the virtual links.
Again, thanks for everyone who has replied my prior email!
regards,
