Re: Scheduled Transfer Protocol (ST)

[Aman Singla <aman@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com>]

Thanks for pointing that out Brian. We've been aware of this
issue for sometime now, and we at SGI are making a conscious effort
to start using STP for the scheduled transfer protocol instead
of the acronym ST. The IANA registered protocol number 118 is
also registered as IPPROTO_STP.

thanks,
