Open issue 1: Why SCTP GIST supports multi-transports Add SCTP as transport protocol for GIST and benefit from the rich transport features desired by signaling protocols: Multi-streaming, multi-homing: if multiple sessions have different reliability requirements they can be allocated to different streams, or even allow load sharing for different sessions in multi-homed environments Avoiding HOL blocking A same GIST MA may be reused by multiple sessions When using TCP as transport, GIST signaling messages belonging to different sessions may be blocked if another message is dropped Partial-reliability |
