Hello all,

following the discussions at IETF75 on 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wing-http-new-tech-00, we have posted the 
an initial version of a "companion" draft that we think should help 
addressing some of the concerns:

http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-yourtchenko-tran-announce-dns-00.txt

Abstract:
While TCP has enjoyed many enhancements over the decades, it is
useful to allow applications to use transports beyond just UDP and
TCP and to use TCP in new ways.  It is inefficient to naively probe
the server using the new protocol.  This document proposes a new DNS
resource record which provides an efficient way to query which
protocols are supported by a server.

The comments are very much welcome.

thanks,
andrew
