The General Internet Signaling Transport (GIST) protocol currently
uses TCP or Transport Layer Security (TLS) over TCP for connection
mode operation.  This document describes the usage of GIST over the
Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) and Datagram Transport
Layer Security (DTLS).  The use of SCTP can take advantage of
features provided by SCTP, namely streaming-based transport, support
of multiple streams to avoid head of line blocking, the support of
multi-homing to provide network level fault tolerance, as well as
partial reliability extension for partially reliable data
transmission.  This document also specifies how to establish GIST
security over datagram transport protocols using an extension to
DTLS.
