(FCoverIP) SCTP extension.

["Douglas Otis" <dotis@sanlight.net>]

As a possible extension to SCTP to deal with the limitation of FC, perhaps a
trinary setting of the retransmission could be made:  Unlimited, 1, or 0.
By allowing at least one retry, most lost frames would be recovered within a
constrained window of time.  The danger with FC is an underlying transport
overlap of recovery mechanisms.  One other consideration is the size of the
buffers at each end of SCTP as this would also skew a time window but would
be required to prevent loss at this point as well.

BTW, what is the latest T11 DMP specification?
