The proposed fix has been implemented in open source stacks for many years, so we're essentially updating the specs accordingly. The IETF's TCPM working group chairs wanted to to some reviews of this (very short) Internet-Draft before it is adopted as a working group item. If you have a few minutes, please take a look, and post your comments/review to (and make sure to CC me). This will be of much help, and having feedback from the implementers' community would be really valuable. Thanks!
