A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.


	Title		: SCTP as a Transport for SIP
	Author(s)	: J. Rosenberg, H. Schulzrinne
	Filename	: draft-rosenberg-sip-sctp-01.txt
	Pages		: 8
	Date		: 21-May-01
	
This document specifies a mechanism for usage of SCTP (the Stream
Control Transmisson Protocol) as the transport between SIP entities.
SCTP is a new protocol which provides several features that may prove
beneficial for transport between SIP entities which exchange a large
amount of messages, including gateways and proxies. As SIP is
transport independent, support of SCTP is a relatively
straightforward process, nearly identical to support for TCP.

Send a message to:

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-rosenberg-sip-sctp-01.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.
