The IESG has approved the following document: - 'General Internet Signaling Transport (GIST) over Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) and Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) ' <draft-ietf-nsis-ntlp-sctp-15.txt> as an Experimental RFC This document is the product of the Next Steps in Signaling Working Group. The IESG contact person is Lars Eggert. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-nsis-ntlp-sctp-15.txt Technical Summary The General Internet Signaling Transport (GIST) protocol currently uses TCP or TLS over TCP for connection mode operation. This document describes the usage of GIST over the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) and Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS). The use of SCTP can take advantage of features provided by SCTP, namely streaming-based transport, support of multiple streams to avoid head of line blocking, the support of multi-homing to provide network level fault tolerance, as well as partial reliability extension for partially reliable data transmission. This document also specifies how to establish GIST security over datagram transport protocols using an extension to DTLS. Working Group Summary This document is an outcome of the NSIS Working Group. Document Quality The document is a supplemental document to the NSIS protocols with an experimental purpose. There exists two independent implementations of the specification. Personnel Jukka Manner (jukka.manner@tkk.fi) is the Document Shepherd. Lars Eggert (lars.eggert@nokia.com) reviewed it for the IESG. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
