Authored by NEAT participants, the Internet Draft “On the Usage of Transport Service Features Provided by IETF Transport Protocols” (draft-ietf-taps-transports-usage) has been adopted as a Working Group item by the Transport Services (TAPS) IETF working group. The draft stems from a previous effort, draft-welzl-taps-transports, also contributed by NEAT.
Draft-ietf-taps-transports-usage presents a rigorous method for extracting and documenting how standard transport protocols expose services to applications, from the IETF Request for Comments documents that specify such protocols. This work will be useful for progressing the work of both the TAPS WG and the NEAT Transport System being developed by the project.
