+    but it permits a peer that also supports the facility to send its SMTP
+    banner immediately after the SYN,ACK segment rather then waiting for
+    another ACK - so saving up to one roundtrip time.  Because it requires
+    previous communication with the peer (we save a cookie from it) this
+    will only become active on frequently-contacted destinations.
