Yes, deployable means: doesn't require middle-box updates (NAAAAAAAAATs) and doesn't require OS vendors / kernel developers / distros to develop, package, and deliver an implementation. That pretty much means: plain TCP and plain UDP. Not IPsec (sure, IPsec can run over UDP, but apps can't all run their own IKEs), not SCTP (unless it's over UDP), not TCP-AO or anything of the sort. Things like SCTP over UDP will do. Lighter-weight protocols over UDP too. Just make sure to handle congestion. DJB's MinimaLT looks pretty good. Nico --
