Sorry Mark, I don't understand how I am going to be able to write such a
section without knowing which domain it is for. Only when you know your
domain and what features it has can you determine what you may not
require in terms of security protocol or congestion control, or
configuration support.

Maybe, I am misunderstanding you?
