Greetings. draft-ietf-taps-transports-usage, "On the Usage of Transport Service Features Provided by IETF Transport Protocols" is an informational overview of how TCP, MCTCP, and SCTP interact with applications. It is strictly descriptive and doesn't define anything new. Because this is just describes existing protocols, there are no new security considerations. However, the current Security Considerations section says: Security will be considered in future versions of this document. It is not clear if the authors meant to have this be a null section, or whether they really intend to create a Security Considerations section that repeats or points to the security considerations for the three transports. I think the latter is better, given the lack of anything new in this document. Regardless, they need to fill this in before the SecDir review can be complete. --Paul Hoffman
