There is an error in Figure 8: the packet on line 7 should
be identical to the packet on line 5.
A TCP MUST support simultaneous open attempts.
- DISCUSSION:

It sometimes surprises implementors that if two

other, only one connection is generated instead of two.
This was an intentional design decision; don't try to
"fix" it.
