One of the problems with the use of terminal servers is the large
number of small packets they can generate.  Frequently, most of these
packets are destined for only one or two hosts.  TMux is a protocol
which allows multiple short transport segments, independent of
application type, to be combined between a server and host pair.  This
RFC is not a product of an IETF Working Group, but has been reviewed
in the Transport Area of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and
status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list
