Stream Control Transmission Protocol RFC2960 [RFC2960] is a multi-
homed transport protocol.  As such, unique security threats exists
that are addressed in various ways within the protocol itself.  This
document attempts to detail the known security threats and there
countermeasures as detailed in the current version of the SCTP
Implementors guide (SCTP-IG).  It is hoped that this information will
provide some useful background information for many of the newest
requirements spelled out in the SCTP-IG.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
