Further enhancements are enabled by changing the receiver side processing of timestamps in the presence of Selective Acknowledgements. This document updates RFC1323 and specifies a backward-compatible method for negotiating for additional capabilities for the Timestamp option, and lists a number of benefits and drawbacks of this approach.}, }
