Hi all,
 
We have just submitted new versions of the two TCM drafts:
 
- Tunneling Compressing and Multiplexing (TCM) Traffic Flows. Reference Model. draft-saldana-tsvwg-tcmtf-08
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-saldana-tsvwg-tcmtf/
 
- Delay Limits and Multiplexing Policies to be employed with Tunneling Compressing and Multiplexing Traffic Flows. draft-suznjevic-tsvwg-mtd-tcmtf-04
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-suznjevic-tsvwg-mtd-tcmtf/
 
In addition, yesterday I submitted another draft about Simplemux (http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-saldana-tsvwg-simplemux/), a multiplexing protocol simpler than PPPMux (I will send another e-mail explaining it).
 
We have built an implementation of TCM over Simplemux (https://github.com/TCM-TF/simplemux), and we will soon report the results of some tests we are planning.
 
Best regards,
 
Jose Saldana
PS: These are some of the improvements:
- keywords have been added
    multiplexing
    header compression
    optimization
    small-packet flows
 
- We talk about “Tunneling, Compressing and Multiplexing (TCM)” instead of “Tunneling Compressed and Multiplexed Traffic Flows (TCM-TF)”. It is a bit confusing if we talk about TCM in some places and TCM-TF in others. In addition, TCM is very easy to remember.
 
- We have improved the abstract and the introduction, talking about “optimization”, “small-packet flows” here and there.
 
- We have updated the reference to COAP (it is now an RFC and it was a draft some months ago).
 
- We have added a reference for supporting the statement saying that routers have a limit in the number of pps they can manage.
 
- We have modified the titles of some subsections.
