If I wanted the definitive word on what TCP is, for example, I imagine I could
slog through the list of RFCs and figure out what obsoletes what, print out
all the ones that seem relevant and scratch my head.  Is there a document out
there (say an RFC in preparation) that describes exactly how all parts of the
protocol work (RTT calculations, options, etc.)? How about for IP and UDP?
