Hello,

I’ve posted a new version of the TCP encapsulation draft with the following 
changes:

1. Added a section to explicitly discuss how to fallback from UDP to TCP 
(retransmissions, etc) based on feedback from the charter discussion
2. Explained that this method of encapsulation can be used for any stream 
protocol, and is not TCP specific, based on feedback from the charter discussion
3. Clarified the use of multiple TCP connections for Child SAs, based on Jun 
Hu’s questions

Also, I’m happy to say that we’ve been doing interoperability testing between 
Apple clients and Cisco server for TCP encapsulation. If anyone else has an 
implementation they’d like to try out, please let us know!

Best,
Tommy
