In Section 3 we find: BTMM uses "_udp" to tunnel packets between the two ends to achieve NAT traversal. I think you mean "UDP", not "_udp".

The Gen-ART Review by Ben Campbell on 15-Mar-2011 includes a an issue. I'd like to see this resolved, but I am not blocking the document from approval. TCP is mentioned section 5 and in 6.1, but BTTM is otherwise stated to run over UDP. After reading the updated draft and the related email thread, along with the change to the SRV record discussion to remove the mention of "_tcp", I think it is now reasonably clear that BTTM uses IPSec and UDP tunneling to carry TCP connections between applications. However, it seems that any IP-based transport protocol could be used. Is correct? If not, please include an explanation.

#1) In Sec 7.1, I had trouble parsing the following: When the user first signs in to MobileMe on a host, it automatically receives from KDC a digital certificate and private key for "Back to My Mac Encryption Certificate".
