I am forwarding the following message to the tcpsat group, which some
of you may have already seen but others may not have seen, from the
ietf-announce mailing of 20-nov-98:

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

	Title		: Optimizing TCP over Satellite ATM Networks
	Author(s)	: R. Goyal, R. Jain
	Filename	: draft-goyal-tcpsat-tcpatm-00.txt
	Pages		: 5
	Date		: 19-Nov-98
	
   This document discusses techniques to improve the performance of TCP
   over satellite-ATM networks. ATM provides the ABR, UBR and GFR
   service categories for data traffic. TCP experiences poor performance
   over UBR due to bursty packet losses during congestion.  Buffer
   management and guaranteed rate techniques to improve TCP performance
   over UBR are presented. The performance of TCP over ABR and the
   interaction of ABR congestion control mechanisms with TCP congestion
   control mechanisms are also described.  This document is intended to
   be in informational document for the efficient transport of TCP over
   satellite-ATM networks.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
