Primes

• Layered Accumulation

  • This sourceInternet Engineering Task Force.

• Layering

  • This sourceInternet Engineering Task Force.

• Maintenance Rehearsal
  • The re-asserting refresh action is the keep-alive probe — a tiny packet that carries no application data and merely signals "still here," re-asserting the binding without enriching or migrating it.

    This sourceSpecifies TCP keep-alive probes -- empty segments sent on idle connections to verify the peer and hold path state -- with the keep-alive interval as a tunable refresh against reaping.

Mechanisms

• Normalized Endpoint Contract
  • The contract follows the spirit of Postel's robustness principle on the consuming side — accept any conformant delivery

    This sourceStates the robustness principle that implementations should be liberal in what they accept.
