Motivation Current NTLP/GIST spec defines a flexible transport framework which (theoretically) allows any type of transport mechanism Currently only support UDP, TCP and recently TLS over TCP SCTP initially defined as a signaling transport protocol possesses many properties required by signaling transport It should be possible to extend GIST to support SCTP as transport GIST over SCTP: Describes the considerations of extending GIST to support Basic SCTP features: stream-based, multi-homing, etc Considerations for partial reliability, TLS over SCTP |
