The IESG has received a request from the Transport Area Working Group WG (tsvwg) to consider the following document: - 'UDP Encapsulation of SCTP Packets' <draft-ietf-tsvwg-sctp-udp-encaps-07.txt> as Proposed Standard 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 2013-01-22. 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 a simple method of encapsulating SCTP Packets into UDP packets and its limitations. This allows the usage of SCTP in networks with legacy NAT not supporting SCTP. It can also be used to implement SCTP on hosts without directly accessing the IP-layer, for example implementing it as part of the application without requiring special privileges. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tsvwg-sctp-udp-encaps/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tsvwg-sctp-udp-encaps/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
