Hi,
	Here is a tcpdump output from one FreeBSD box with TCP for transaction
enabled and a client supporting the NOPUSH setsockopt with a windows box:

I see two problems here (in fact its only one problem with a side effect):

	1) When sending the ccnew option T/TCP send data with it.
	2) As a results the sender times out and retransmit at 19:00:18.356736
	   adding 3 seconds to the connection data transfer.

Now, in the rfc1644 it is stipulated that a host can send data with the
cc.new option. I am a bit confused here since T/TCP should accelerate data
transfer for small transaction (saving 1 RTT) and not timing out if the
destination host does not support it.

	I think we should avoid sending data with the cc.new option.

Any thoughs?

Karim.
