Hi, I realised there was a gap in the -00 draft, which I've fixed by inventing a new IANA registry. Briefly, when discovering a new agent, you need to know what "transport" protocol it talks. That isn't as simple as TCP vs UDP, as the original GRASP definitions assumed. Most protocols of interest are *above* the traditional transport layer and are not listed in basic IANA protocol registry. Apart from the SDP parameters registry [1], there doesn't seem to be a registry for this. SOo of course I invented one.
I really need feedback, please! Last week was quite exciting for ANIMA's future, and becoming agent-friendly seems important.

Title: Using GRASP as an Agent Rendezvous Mechanism Author: Brian E. Carpenter Name: draft-carpenter-anima-grasp-rendezvous-01.txt Pages: 9 Dates: 2026-07-26 Abstract: This document describes how the GeneRic Autonomic Signaling Protocol (GRASP) defined by RFC 8990 may be used as a rendezvous mechanism for one Autonomic Service Agent to find another, and then to establish a generic communication channel between them. Such a channel could be used for any form of agent-to-agent communication, not limited to GRASP exchanges. This document updates RFC 8990 by adding a transport identifier registry.
