Subject: [sacm] [draft-ietf-sacm-requirements] Section 2.6 - Requirements for Transport Protocols (#36)

The term Transport Protocol is extremely ambiguous in this section.  It has at least two different meanings that can be used in this section and both of them do, at times, seem to be used.

The first is that of Transport Layer Protocols, such as TCP, IP, UDP, Bluetooth and so forth.
The second is that of a SACM Data Transport Protocol (sorry I can't list any at this point).
There is a third set that can be considered to be in this category that don't fall into either of these in some sense (i.e. TLS, DTLS, RSYNC).

I strongly recommend that distinct terms be defined for each of these be created, their existence documented (either here or in terminology) and then be used consistently.
