Technical Summary

    This document defines the SCTP based TML (Transport Mapping Layer)
    for the ForCES protocol.  It explains the rationale for choosing the
    SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) [RFC4960] and also
    describes how this TML addresses all the requirements described in
    [RFC3654] and the ForCES protocol draft <draft-ietf-forces-protocol>.

Working Group Summary

    There is strong working group consensus behind this document.
    It is an effort of several years work.

Document Quality

    The document has been well reviewed. An interop in July 2009
    between 3 different implementations by WG participant utilizing
    draft version 4 was successful. In addition, there are two
    different extensions to public domain traffic sniffers (ethereal
    and tcpdump) by 2 other WG participants.

    Joel Halpern is the Document Shepherd. Ross Callon is the
    responsible AD.
