Hi,

Just a couple of comments, IMHO one of the important benefits of using a
transport layer mechanism to preserve established communications is that the
security is simpler than the mechanisms at 3.5 layer. The reason for this is
that only a connection is at stake, and not the complete identity of the
host.  This allows to build simple return routability checks which may be
acceptable, while they are probably not acceptable for lower layer
solutions. Perhaps a comment about this would fit in section 2.3.2 or in the
section 3?

Another comment is about how does an sctp solution deals with ingress
filtering?

thanks, marcelo
