Overview

• Main idea
• Changes since 00
• Next steps

3
Main idea

• Current GIST spec only supports UDP, TCP and
  recently TLS over TCP as underlying transport
• SCTP initially defined as a signaling transport
  protocol offers many properties desired by
  signaling transport
• GIST over SCTP
• Describes the considerations of extending GIST to
  support
• Basic SCTP features stream-based, multi-homing,
  etc
• Considerations for partial reliability, TLS over
  SCTP

4
Changes since 00

• Corresponding to NTLP-08 ? 09
• Readapted API and Stack-Configuration-Data,
  partially PR-SCTP.
• Provided a bit-level-format for
  Higher-Layer-Addressing.
• The new MA-Type is now renamed Forwards-SCTP
• since GIST also calls standard TCP mode as
  Forwards-TCP.

5
Next steps

• More text on using TLS over SCTP
• More discussion on usage examples/scenarios of
  GIST-SCTP
