	 <t>   The TCP-IMPL working group has documented a number of TCP
   implementation problems [PADHV98].  However, a significant number
   still have not been fully described and documented in the form used
   in [PADHV98].  This memo briefly describes a number of these,
   including commentary as to the authors&#x27; opinions regarding the
   importance of documenting the problem.  This memo is *not* intended
   to ever see light as an RFC of some form; its sole function is to
   facilitate working group discussion of which problems are more
   pressing to document than others, and to aid in arriving at a
   decision as to when [PADHV98] will be sufficiently complete to merit
   its publication as an Informational RFC.

   We divide the descriptions into &#x27;&#x27;serious&#x27;&#x27; problems, meaning those    we think should be included in [PADHV98] prior to its publication;
   &#x27;&#x27;security&#x27;&#x27; problems, which might not be viewed as implementation
   problems per se, but represent significant security problems of which
   TCP implementors should be aware; and &#x27;&#x27;less serious&#x27;&#x27; problems, those
   that, if the working group fails to find volunteers to document them,
   should not hold up [PADHV98].
 
   It might be worthwhile to separate the security problems out into
   their own document.  We particularly solicit working group input on
   this subject.
