Hi,

as most of you probably know, there are two different proposals for how to 
encapsulate SCTP and DCCP inside UDP.

One approach proposes two protocol-specific encapsulation schemes (described in 
draft-tuexen-sctp-udp-encaps and draft-ietf-dccp-udpencap).

The second approach proposes a generic encapsulation scheme that can be applied 
to both SCTP and DCCP (draft-manner-tsvwg-gut).

As a community, we do need to come to consensus on which of these two 
approaches we want to follow when it comes to UDP encapsulation of SCTP and 
DCCP. I believe it would be very confusing if we were to standardize both 
approaches.

I'd hence like to ask folks to read the three documents and post their views to 
the [email protected] list. I'm personally especially interested in hearing from 
folks who aren't on the author lists of the documents, but obviously, the 
authors expert opinions do matter.

Thanks,
Lars

PS: I'm pushing on this topic, because UDP encapsulation is the last remaining 
work item in the DCCP working group before it can close...
