Hello all, A new version of the draft specifying HTTP over SCTP has been uploaded. This version is still tentative and we've attempted to incorporate most of the relevant discussions since the previous version. Your suggestions and comments are most welcome, especially on Section 4 -- "Open Issues". The preferred venue for discussions would be the HTTPbis WG mailing list. You can find a copy of the draft here -- http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-natarajan-http-over-sctp-02.tx t Thanks, Preethi -----Original Message----- From: IETF I-D Submission Tool [mailto:idsubmission@ietf.org] Sent: Thursday, July 09, 2009 11:16 AM To: Preethi Natarajan (prenatar) Cc: amer@cis.udel.edu; leighton@cis.udel.edu; Fred Baker (fred) Subject: New Version Notification for draft-natarajan-http-over-sctp-02 A new version of I-D, draft-natarajan-http-over-sctp-02.txt has been successfuly submitted by Preethi Natarajan and posted to the IETF repository. Filename: draft-natarajan-http-over-sctp Revision: 02 Title: Using SCTP as a Transport Layer Protocol for HTTP Creation_date: 2009-07-09 WG ID: Independent Submission Number_of_pages: 13 Abstract: Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) [RFC2616] requires a reliable transport for end-to-end communication. While historically TCP has been used for this purpose, this document proposes an alternative -- the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) [RFC4960]. Similar to TCP, SCTP offers a reliable end-to-end transport connection to applications. Additionally, SCTP offers innovative services unavailable in TCP. This draft (i) specifies HTTP over SCTP's multistreaming service, (ii) lists open issues warranting more discussion and/or investigation, and (iii) shares some lessons learned from implementing HTTP over SCTP. Finally, this document highlights SCTP services that better match HTTP's needs than TCP. The IETF Secretariat.
