Re: I-D Action:draft-ietf-nsis-ntlp-sctp-08.txt

Dear all,

The SCTP transport for GIST has been on our agenda. However, there has 
been little discussion about it in the last few years. The chairs and 
our AD want to see active discussion and clear support for the work to 
warrant us spending more cycles on it, similar to the tunneling 
document. We already have TCP and UDP available, SCTP (and DCCP) has 
well-known deployment challenges, and lack of clear use case and 
"client" for the work. If there is no strong support, we will drop the 
item at this stage, and come back to it later (in some form or another) 
if a clear need for the work arises.

Regards,
Jukka
