• This draft gives an example of how to use our augmented packet header diagrams to describe TCP. This version fixes the description of the Window Scale TCP option, and updates the description of TCP options to use the size() function rather than the previous #-syntax.

• This is an example showing how to use the format introduced in draft-mcquistin-augmented-ascii-diagrams to describe the format of TCP packets. This version expands the set of constraints applied to the TCP header fields, updates the diagrams to use short headers (instead of a full 32-bit header), and adds the SACK Block option. It also updates the comparison with draft-ietf-tcpm-rfc793bis, since that draft has now adopted this format for the core TCP headers.
