There is an error in Figure 8: the packet on line 7 should
be identical to the packet on line 5.
A TCP MUST support simultaneous open attempts.
- DISCUSSION:
-
It sometimes surprises implementors that if two
applications attempt to simultaneously connect to each
other, only one connection is generated instead of two.
This was an intentional design decision; don't try to
"fix" it.
