Technical Summary

The General Internet Signaling Transport (GIST) protocol currently
uses TCP or 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.

Working Group Summary

This document is an outcome of the NSIS Working Group.

Document Quality

The document is a supplemental document to the NSIS protocols with an
experimental purpose. There exists two independent implementations of
the specification.
