Announcing the beta releaase of a patch for T/TCP for linux 2.0.32.

T/TCP is an experimental extension to the TCP protocol defined in RFC 1644. It
is more efficient for transaction-oriented applications than TCP. For small 
data transfers, it can reduce the number of packets involved in the 
transaction by up to 66%.

To download the patch, point your browser at:

http://www.csn.ul.ie/~heathclf/fyp

You can also download a patch for Lynx 2.8 to enable it for T/TCP. The site
contains my final year project report on T/TCP, detailing its operation,
performance and some of the drawbacks.

The patch may also work for the 2.0.33 kernel, but I have not done any testing
on this kernel version.

The code is released under the GNU General Public License with copyright to 
myself and the University of Limerick, Ireland.

Regards

	Mark Stacey
