                August 1988.  The paper describing improvements
                to TCP to allow use over Wide Area Networks and
                through gateways connecting networks of varying
                capacity. This work was a starting point for the

                Proceedings, USENIX Association, Berkeley, CA,
                June 1990, pages 53-63.  Describes reply cache
                implementation that avoids work in the server by
                handling duplicate requests. More important,
                though listed as a side-effect, the reply cache
                aids in the avoidance of destructive
                non-idempotent operation re-application --
                improving correctness.
