The guidance regarding the complexity of template handling comes from the fact that nobody implemented template withdrawal or template number reuse, not from SCTP implementation issues. > Dan Romascanu (our AD) asked for an Interoperation > Report, Brian says he has one written as an Internet Draft. On review, the Internet-Draft format of what I have does not meet the form or content of an Implementation Report.
