Hi COIN community,

For the discussion at the upcoming IETF112, we have updated the transport issues draft, see below. We have made two important changes.

First, we have now more clearly positioned the technology areas into a single section with research questions and challenges as well as related efforts and concepts for each area. 

Second, we have complemented the technologies with a gap analysis on those technology areas. This gap analysis will still need to be developed in detail as part of the next step towards this draft possibly becoming an output of the overall RG. But it is the gap analysis that is meant to contribute to the identification of a future COIN research agenda.

For the latter aspect, we are asking for contributors to the further updates, particularly the gap analysis. Also, we would like to ask for adoption as a RG-level draft.

As usual, any comments and thoughts on the updates are warmly welcome. 

Best,

Dirk

Abstract:
   Today's transport protocols offer a variety of functionality based on
   the notion that the network is to be treated as an unreliable
   communication medium.  Some, like TCP, establish a reliable
   connection on top of the unreliable network while others, like UDP,
   simply transmit datagrams without a connection and without guarantees
   into the network.  These fundamental differences in functionality
   have a significant impact on how COIN approaches can be designed and
   implemented.  Furthermore, traditional transport protocols are not
   designed for the multi-party communication principles that underlie
   many COIN approaches.  This document raises several questions
   regarding the use of transport protocols in connection with COIN.
