RE: TCP framing and SCTP Checksum: TSVWG only

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

David,

The various proposals on the table for either iFCP or FCIP encapsulation may
benefit from utilization of a generalized framing layer suitable for both
TCP and SCTP.  In that respect, I thought it advantageous to consider these
aspects.  This goes into the generalized aspects of extended error
detection, frame validation, higher level retry on a digest failure, and
identification of the underlying payload and was my reasoning for including
this within the IPS WG.  I understand if this proposal is to proceed on a
standards path, it will be within TSVWG.  If there is no interest within
this WG, then it will not be mentioned further.
