    Brian:

    Yes, we're aware of these neat aircraft applications via our close work
    with Larry Freudinger at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, and in
    particular with the use of intermediate PEP gateways. The question is
    whether (in order to use the gateway capabilities) you feel that their
    various internal flavors of TCP need to be put on an *IETF* standards
    track. Dan Shell apparently feels that they do; what about you? TCP
    Tranquility is a full International Standard within the space community; do
    you feel in any way inhibited from experimenting with its use?
