A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Signaling Transport Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: SCTP Unreliable Data Mode Extension
	Author(s)	: Q. Xie, R. Stewart, C. Sharp, I. Rytina
	Filename	: draft-ietf-sigtran-usctp-00.txt
	Pages		: 12
	Date		: 26-Jan-01
	
This document describes an extension to the Stream Control
Transmission Protocol (SCTP) [RFC2960] to provide unreliable data
transfer services. The benefits of this extension includes unified
congestion control over reliable and unreliable data streams, single
association for multi-content data services, link level
fault tolerance for unreliable data transfer, unreliable data stream
multiplexing, etc. 

The unreliable data transfer service will also support partial payload
checksum in order to facilitate bit-error tolerance media
applications.

Send a message to:

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-sigtran-usctp-00.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
