The draft is written very aggressively in terms of a general statement about the services expected from the underlying layer, rather than identifying TCP as *the* underlying layer. I think that set of services is a "general flavour", and is delivered by T/TCP.

Wouldn't you agree that it goes without saying that wherever addresses *do* appear in current IETF work, the demands of the currently underway evolutionary steps of the Internet must be taken into account? I agree; and I'm suggesting the charter needs to say so. Brian
