SCTP-Based Transport Mapping Layer (TML) for the Forwarding and Control Element Separation (ForCES) Protocol

This document defines the SCTP based TML (Transport Mapping Layer) for the ForCES protocol. It explains the rationale for choosing the SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) [RFC4960] and also describes how this TML addresses all the requirements described in [RFC3654] and the ForCES protocol [FE-PROTO] draft.
