Hello!

This is the eighth report for TCP UTO.

* Short TCP UTO description
UTO stands for User Timeout Option (it is described in RFC5482). TCP UTO
specifies a peer should be allowed to advertise its chosen `User Timeout'
for a connection.
The wiki page for this project: http://wiki.freebsd.org/CatalinNicutar/TCPUTO


* Work completed last week
   * I have fixed the handling of the received option (the option is now
   recorded even if it isn't accepted)
   * I have added UTO support to telnet, nc and ssh. I have also updated
   their respective manual pages

* My goals for this week
   * I will test & add support for TCP UTO over IPv6
   * I will add more tests in tools/regression
   * I will look for other userland applications in `base' to add UTO
   support

If you have questions, suggestions or advices drop me an email to
cnicutar at FreeBSD.org.
