Re: [IPFIX] I-D Action:draft-ietf-tsvwg-sctp-strrst-00.txt

Benoit:

-00 is the current version.

As to what needs done in the document I think:

1) We need to add a socket-api section (Michael and I were going to  
work on that at
   EuroBSD but I think we got distracted by the vnet stuff .. opps ;-D)

2) We probably need to touch up the IANA section, it looks to me that  
it needs a bit
   of polishing.

3) We need to go back through and make sure the rest of the rules are  
clear.

and finally

4) We need to get a bit more working group review.


As to implementation state, I believe the FreeBSD implementation and  
the IOS implementation are the
only two I know that implement this feature. Not sure if IOS has added  
the "add stream" feature yet, Peter
might be able to tell ;-)

When we add the socket-api section, I am sure the FreeBSD  
implementation will also need to "adjust" its
current socket API to match the draft... which we will most likely do  
in real time.

Michael, do you have any other things to list here?


Note: I don't think either Michael or I will be in Japan, we will both  
attend Anaheim though (at least
      we currently intend to)
