Abstract Abstract
This document presents three YANG 1.1 modules to support the This document presents three YANG 1.1 modules to support the
configuration of TCP clients and TCP servers. The modules include configuration of TCP clients and TCP servers. The modules include
basic parameters of a TCP connection relevant for client or server basic parameters of a TCP connection relevant for client or server
applications, as well as client configuration required for traversing applications, as well as client configuration required for traversing
proxies. The modules can be used either standalone or in conjunction proxies. The data models defined by these modules may be used
with configuration of other stack protocol layers. directly (e.g., to define a specific TCP client or TCP server) or in
conjunction with the configuration defined for higher level protocols

finalized values at the time of publication. This note summarizes
all of the substitutions that are needed. No other RFC Editor
instructions are specified elsewhere in this document.
Artwork in this document contains shorthand references to drafts in
progress. Please apply the following replacements:
* AAAA --> the assigned RFC value for draft-ietf-netconf-crypto-
types
* DDDD --> the assigned RFC value for this draft
Artwork in this document contains placeholder values for the date of
publication of this draft. Please apply the following replacement:

The "Relation to other RFCs" section Section 1.1 contains the text
"one or more YANG modules" and, later, "modules". This text is
sourced from a file in a context where it is unknown how many modules
a draft defines. The text is not wrong as is, but it may be improved
by stating more directly how many modules are defined.
The "Relation to other RFCs" section Section 1.1 contains a self-
reference to this draft, along with a corresponding reference in the
Appendix. Please replace the self-reference in this section with
"This RFC" (or similar) and remove the self-reference in the
"Normative/Informative References" section, whichever it is in.
Tree-diagrams in this draft may use the '\' line-folding mode defined
in RFC 8792. However, nicer-to-the-eye is when the '\\' line-folding
mode is used. The AD suggested suggested putting a request here for
the RFC Editor to help convert "ugly" '\' folded examples to use the
'\\' folding mode. "Help convert" may be interpreted as, identify
what looks ugly and ask the authors to make the adjustment.
