SCTP & HIP. Please look at these.

This still requires applications to be far too aware of what's underneath them. Sort of like requiring applications to know SCSI protocol commands or disk geometry in order to write out data.

Now the big problem is, how do you get programmers to start adding SCTP and/or HIP support to all their programs...

And how do you get CPE router vendors to support them and firewall administrators to allow them through, etc.
