Title : Using SCTP as a Transport Layer Protocol for HTTP
Author(s) : P. Natarajan, et al.
Filename : draft-natarajan-http-over-sctp-02.txt

Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) [RFC2616] requires a reliable
transport for end-to-end communication. While historically TCP has
been used for this purpose, this document proposes an alternative --
the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) [RFC4960]. Similar
to TCP, SCTP offers a reliable end-to-end transport connection to
applications. Additionally, SCTP offers innovative services
unavailable in TCP. This draft (i) specifies HTTP over SCTP's
multistreaming service, (ii) lists open issues warranting more
discussion and/or investigation, and (iii) shares some lessons
learned from implementing HTTP over SCTP. Finally, this document
highlights SCTP services that better match HTTP's needs than TCP.
