It’s not an API spec but it does “basically start and end” with the API. It follows the same approach as draft-ietf-taps-transports-usage, which also very much “basically starts and ends” with the API, in how primitives are derived. Details on this relationship are maybe clearest in the appendix, where we describe how to contribute text (in some future version, this should probably be renamed into “how this document was created”). > Anything else needed by UDP apps isn't needed because they're UDP.

E.g., it IS the input from which we derive our protocol-independent API in the NEAT project. Cheers, Michael
