Re: [tsvwg] The List (of application-layer desired features)

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.
