The IESG has received a request from the Transport Services WG (taps) to consider the following document: - 'On the Usage of Transport Features Provided by IETF Transport Protocols' <draft-ietf-taps-transports-usage-08.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-09-14. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes how the transport protocols Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), MultiPath TCP (MPTCP), Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Lightweight User Datagram Protocol (UDP-Lite) expose services to applications and how an application can configure and use the features that make up these services. It also discusses the service provided by the Low Extra Delay Background Transport (LEDBAT) congestion control mechanism. The description results in a set of transport abstractions that can be exported in a TAPS API. For UDP and UDP-Lite, the first step of the protocol analysis -- a discussion of relevant RFC text -- is documented in [FJ16]. XX RFC ED - PLEASE REPLACE [FJ16] WITH THE CORRECT RFC NUMBER XXX The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-taps-transports-usage/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-taps-transports-usage/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
