A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Using SCTP as a Transport Layer Protocol for HTTP Author(s) : P. Natarajan, et al. Filename : draft-natarajan-http-over-sctp-02.txt Pages : 13 Date : 2009-07-09 Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) [RFC2616] requires a reliable transport for end-to-end communication. While historically TCP has been used for this purpose, this document proposes an alternative -- the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) [RFC4960]. Similar to TCP, SCTP offers a reliable end-to-end transport connection to applications. Additionally, SCTP offers innovative services unavailable in TCP. This draft (i) specifies HTTP over SCTP's multistreaming service, (ii) lists open issues warranting more discussion and/or investigation, and (iii) shares some lessons learned from implementing HTTP over SCTP. Finally, this document highlights SCTP services that better match HTTP's needs than TCP.
