Having been down this path for over a year, I appreciate the fairly narrow approach draft-welzl-taps-transports and think it may be the best chance for TAPS to succeed.

> You say you appreciate the "fairly narrow" approach of draft-welzl-taps-transports. This makes me wonder - maybe draft-welzl-taps-transports should only cover a subset of the transports in draft-ietf-taps-transports, based on what we can see in draft-ietf-taps-transports?

Definitely. I think the "narrow" approach can work here -- the scope is already narrowed by only considering unicast services, which simplifies things quite a bit. The question is how and whether to narrow further. TCP (and MPTCP), UDP (and UTP-lite), and SCTP clearly make the cut, as they are widely deployed and/or there is active work on top of them for which we expect wide deployment. Others I'm less sure of.

Cheers,

Brian
