I also do not see why this document should make any statements concerning other transports. I still find the Introduction somewhat confusing to read. Here is an attempt to rewrite it and shorten it: --8<-- 1. Introduction The syslog protocol [RFC5424] is designed to run over different transports. This document defines the transport of syslog messages over the datagram transport layer security protocol (DTLS) [RFC4347]. The DTLS transport is designed to meet the requirements of deployments that need a secure datagram-based transport. DTLS has been mapped onto different transport layer protocols, including UDP [RFC0768] and DCCP [RFC4340]. This memo defines both options, namely syslog over DTLS over UDP and syslog over DTLS over DCCP. The syslog over DTLS over DCCP option is recommended over the syslog over DTLS over UDP option in deployments where adequate resource sharing and congestion control is required. --8<-- /js -- Juergen Schoenwaelder Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH Phone: +49 421 200 3587 Campus Ring 1, 28759 Bremen, Germany Fax: +49 421 200 3103 <http://www.jacobs-university.de/> _______________________________________________ Syslog mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/syslog
