General Internet Signaling Transport (GIST)
over Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)
and Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS)
Abstract
The General Internet Signaling Transport (GIST) protocol currently
uses TCP or Transport Layer Security (TLS) over TCP for Connection
mode operation. This document describes the usage of GIST over the
Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) and Datagram Transport
Layer Security (DTLS).
Status of This Memo
This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is
