This document clarifies the Zero Window Probes (ZWPs) described in
RFC 1122 ("Requirements for Internet Hosts -- Communication Layers").
In particular, it clarifies the actions that can be taken on
connections that are experiencing the ZWP condition.  Rather than
making a change to the standard, this document clarifies what has
been until now a misinterpretation of the standard as specified in
RFC 1122.  This document is not an Internet Standards Track 
specification; it is published for informational purposes.

This document is a product of the TCP Maintenance and Minor Extensions Working Group of the IETF.
