BTW,

My personal opinion is that this document, in this version, is very good
and serves well the purpose of providing a
comprehensive survey of the services provided with a number of the IETF
transport protocols.

I do note, however, that the title of the document puts bigger emphasis on
congestion control than the document
content as such.

I further, personally, consider the document draft-welzl-taps-transport as
a good, and necessary, supplement
going more into the details of the existing transport service
interface(s).

Thanks.

BR, Karen
