                       Flexible Session Protocol 
                 draft-gao-flexible-session-protocol-01

Abstract

   FSP is a connection-oriented transport layer protocol that provides
   mobility and multihoming support by introducing the concept of 'upper
   layer thread ID', which is associated with some shared secret that is
   applied to protect authenticity of the origin of the FSP packets.

   It introduces the concept of transmit transaction to facilitate a
   quad-party sub-protocol for shared secret installation.

   It provides transport layer features of zero round-trip connection
   multiplication and on-the-wire compression, in addition to ubiquitous
   message authentication with optional encryption service.
