[dtn-interest] UDP/DCCP draft

["Kruse, Hans" <[e-mail]>]

As agreed in Mountain View, we have updated the expired UDP Convergence Layer draft (for bundle and LTP transport) with sections on DCCP.
The draft is available for review:

Abstract:
  This document specifies the preferred method for transporting DTN
  protocol data over the Internet using datagrams.  The specification
  covers convergence layers for the Bundle Protocol as well as the
  transportation of LTP segments.  UDP and DCCP are the candidate
  datagram protocols discussed.  UDP can only be used on a local
  network, or in cases where the DTN node implements explicit
  congestion control.  DCCP does address the congestion control
  problem; however, the availability of implementations is limited.
