	Title           : General Internet Signaling Transport (GIST) over SCTP
	Author(s)       : X. Fu, et al.
	Filename        : draft-ietf-nsis-ntlp-sctp-03.txt

The General Internet Signaling Transport (GIST) protocol currently
uses TCP or TLS over TCP for connection mode operation.  This
document describes the usage of GIST over the Stream Control
Transmission Protocol (SCTP).  The use of SCTP can take advantage of
features provided by SCTP, namely streaming-based transport, support
of multiple streams to avoid head of line blocking, and the support
of multi-homing to provide network level fault tolerance.
Additionally, the support for the Partial Reliability Extension of
SCTP is discussed.

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.
