Abstract

This document specifies how to use SCTP for the transport of the SIMCO (Version 3.0) protocol. SIMCO (SImple Middlebox COnfiguration) is a protocol that implements the MIDCOM semantics. It can be used for controlling middleboxes such as firewalls and network address translators. SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) is a transport layer protocol that is expected to have advantages for this type of application, compared to TCP, which is the default transport layer protocol for SIMCO. The specific requirements for SIMCO when using SCTP instead of TCP are specified in this document.
