    abstract =  {Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) {[}RFC2616{]} requires a reliable transport for end-to-end communication. While historically TCP has been used for this purpose, this document proposes an alternative -- the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) {[}RFC4960{]}. Similar to TCP, SCTP offers a reliable end-to-end transport connection to applications. Additionally, SCTP offers innovative services unavailable in TCP. This draft (i) specifies HTTP over SCTP's multistreaming service, (ii) lists open issues warranting more discussion and/or investigation, and (iii) shares some lessons learned from implementing HTTP over SCTP. Finally, this document highlights SCTP services that better match HTTP's needs than TCP.},
